| Global Out Sourcing
: |
|
Are you looking to increase
your profitability through outsourcing from best
cost countries?
Some European manufacturers are feeling the heat
of Asian competition.
Prices of goods "made in Asia" have brought
down the global price levels.
This has led to decreasing profits of European manufacturers.
This may not necessarily be a rule. You can change
the situation.
Our Customers say: "We want to cut the
cost of our procurement, but not at the cost of
European quality". Sure, this is possible!
We offer to work with you in making
this a reality. 15-30 % savings are possible.
We are a group of SPECIALIST ENGINEERS who
have the expertise in outsourcing in best cost countries.
|
|
| Our Focus : |
We focus on forgings, castings, metal parts & machined
components, ready for assembly.
Our manufacturers
are based in India, China, Czech Republic and Hungary.
The buyers
are mainly small and medium sized companies in Western Europe. |
|
| Why Outsource? |
|
Prices of goods "made in Asia" have brought
down global price levels, thereby lowering the profits
of many European manufacturers.
European forge-shops & foundries have a cost
disadvantage.
Labour costs are soaring, cost of maintaining environment
is high, and hence the overall costs are high.
For survival and growth with the prevailing
global competition, mutual co-operation with the world's
best priced suppliers is a must. Selection of a suitable
supplier will thereby determine the success of your
cost reduction attempts.
Price advantage is tempting. But quality and reliability
of timely supplies from best cost countries is a big
question mark for buyers.
Outsourcing functions are not optional or avoidable.
The buyer has to do it themselves and there is a high
price attached if these activities are undertaken
from overseas.
For Asia, the distance, travel costs are high, communication
is difficult and work cultures are not easy to understand.
Big companies have sourcing offices in best cost regions.
The small & medium sized companies
may not have such offices close to their suppliers.
We can reduce outsourcing costs drastically by networking
between buyers, procurement/inspection agencies based
in best cost regions.
Labour intensive parts & sub assemblies offer
opportunity for cost reduction by outsourcing from
best cost countries.
The outsourcing functions are subcontracted locally
at a smaller costs to local experts / professionals
in the field of forging, casting, and quality assurance,
thereby creating savings for buyers.
Local agencies know the local markets, business
culture, costings, and can decide the best fit
to deliver the services, and assist buyers in assessing
the ground realities.
Relying on manufacturer's quality system is good,
but not sufficient.
Third party pre-shipment inspection could be an
additional counter check to ensure the quality as
per customer specifications.
Third party inspection will not be biased nor favour
manufacturers.
Interpretation & understanding of customer needs
is difficult. Buyer wants a hook. Manufacturer makes
a hanging rope instead. There is a communication gap.
We fill this gap with proficiency in the local language,
culture and understanding of your specifications &
precise needs. Manufacturers need to be close to their
markets and buyer needs to be close to their suppliers
to make sure you get the quality, timely deliveries
and best prices too.
THIS IS THE ROLE WE WANT TO PLAY ON YOUR BEHALF
AS IF WE ARE YOUR LOCAL OFFICE IN INDIA, CLOSE
TO YOUR SUPPLIERS.

Forgings, Castings & Machined
Components - Destination India.
Asia could be your hub for forgings, castings &
machined parts.
Modern forging, casting and machining facilities
are available.
Small/medium sized manufacturers offer best prices.
Their quality is good, reliable and meets customer's
expectations.
Many small/medium sized forge-shops, foundries,
machine-shops (ISO/QS/TS certified) with excellent
product quality, have spare capacity. They are keen
to fill spare capacity through exports.
But have no marketing set up or skills to develop export
customers.
Cost of market development is very high and needs lot
of attention & focus and medium companies find this
difficult.
Such small/medium sized manufacturers welcome our
networking to bring them export business and co-operate
with them in the successful execution of such orders.
Some of the best cost manufacturers may need specific
training and systematic methods of working. People
are trainable and responsive.
We offer to train them. Qualified & experienced
manpower is thereby available.
