SOS Manpower Service and Mason Recruitment

SOS Manpower Service is a Subcontinent Exporter headquartered in Kathmandu Nepal, primarily focused on Bulk Pipeline Provision. Subcontinent exporters in this segment move volume, but their reliance on third-party sub-brokers introduces inconsistent mason batch quality, documentation gaps, and unpredictable timelines — especially when batches fail medical clearance and need rapid replacement.
