Our strength

Quality Assurance

Many mistakes or problems occur with miscommunications and unforeseen material behavior. The selection of well advanced manufacturing facilities will be a first choice of every buyer, but when the orders are too small or price wise not achievable, the sourcing of small factories is unavoidable.

Choosing smaller factories, does not always comes as a disadvantage. We are in a position to assist and guide our customers to better understand such manufacturers and to tackle problems at an early stage. Vice verse we also observe and instruct manufacturers, to what extend they have to prepare and to understand the complexity and quality of a product. From experience we know that even a small factory is willing to invest and comply to customers requirements, in order to maintain long term business relationship.

Reliability

Finding a balance between a buyer and supplier across distances does not always goes as smooth as expected. There are many factors which affects a scheduled production time-line. However, these factors can be avoided or reduced to a minimum, by pre-assessing the ability and capability of a supplier or manufacturer to cope with the specific requirements of a buyer.

Technical know-how

The development of a new product, most of the time will bring in some new structures or use of materials not tested or producted before. Many designs start with a drawing and sometimes a manufacturer does not have the right tools or knowledge follow up complicated constructions. With our expertise and technical background, we better understand the complexity of design and choice of materials, according to the mind of designers from the EU and US.

Our customers

We serve customers from around the world from small to medium capacity. Most customers have their own brand and make use of our service, which is based on trust and accurate information provided.

There is a Dutch phrase translated to English: "The customer is always right" , but we do not always agree. Our mission is to guide and find a balance between the customer and manufacturer, to ensure both parties to be able to sell and produce to their satisfaction.
