To outsource to/from

Hi all

What would be the correct preposition to use after "to outsource"?

To outsource work to/from someone
To outsource products to/from someone

Example:
1. Think about the benefits you will have when you outsource part of your production work to/from a Chinese supplier.
2. The management is considering outsourcing the product to/from a manufacturer in China. (At the moment, the company is producing the product by itself.)

Thank you.

Thank you, AlpheccaStars.

"To outsource work to someone" sounds fine to me, but somehow "to outsource a product to someone" does not quite. I don't know if something really isn't quite right about it, or it's just me.
