Your trusted
sourcing partner
We work with a selected group of Indonesian manufacturers we visited ourselves, and help European companies source from them. No sourcing fees, no upfront costs.

Who we are
We are Emma Cooke and Mathis Bruynsteen, the founders of Muara.
We spent a year living in Indonesia. During that time we visited a wide range of manufacturers of furniture and home decoration. We walked through factories and showrooms, met the people behind each business, saw their production first-hand and learned how they work.
Living there also gave us something you can't get from a distance: we learned the language, got to know local business customs and saw how relationships and communication really work in Indonesia.
We are based in Belgium and travel to Indonesia when a project requires it. Working with a partner who knows both Europe and Indonesia makes sourcing from there much more manageable.
How we work
We get to know your business
Your customers, style, price range, volumes, quality requirements and where you want to grow.
We match you with the right manufacturer
We propose the factories from our network that fit your collection, materials, capacity and budget. Looking for something none of them make? We research new manufacturers, contact them and visit them if needed.
We handle samples and quotations
We arrange samples, collect quotations and make sure both sides agree on exactly what is being ordered: dimensions, materials, finishes and packaging.
We follow your order
We stay involved during production and are your single point of contact. When needed, we travel to Indonesia for quality checks, and our local contacts can step in on site.
We build for the long term
Our aim isn't one order. It's a supplier relationship you can build your range on for years.
What we offer
Your designs, your label
Our manufacturers can produce your own designs, adjust dimensions, materials and finishes, or make products under your own label.
Mixed containers
We can combine products from several manufacturers in one container, so you don't need large volumes per supplier.
No fees for you
There are no sourcing fees or upfront costs for you: we work on commission with our manufacturers.
