Sourcing
We connect high-quality, reliable suppliers with European companies looking for high-quality, cost-effective production.
With deep understanding of engineering standards, supplier ecosystems, pitfalls and strenghts in both Europe and Asia, we ensure sourcing is not only commercially viable but long-term reliable.
Supplier identification & shortlisting
- Targeted market research for capable manufacturers based on product and process requirements
- Matching supplier process specialities according to technical requirements
- Screening and shortlisting of suppliers by geography, cost structure, lead time and logistical convenience
Technical coordination
- Confirming that suppliers hold the necessary certifications to meet compliance and regulatory requirements
- Audit of on-site QC capabilities, workflow and facilities
- Accompanying and supervision of production ramp-up
Customer-supplier Integration
- Technical alignment between relevant departments
- Direct supply chain establishment
- Creation of mutual understanding and efficient work processses
- Alignment of engineering specifications and interfaces
Risk mitigation & localization options
- Potential risks identification and contingency planning: supply chain disruptions, geopolitical issues, quality failures, capacity limitations.
- Alternative sourcing for supply chain stability
- Supply chain resilience, i.e. material availability, lead times, import/export constraints, tariffs, duty, etc
Long-term support
- Ensuring transparency around, revisions and modifications
- Supplier performance monitoring
- Continuous improvement, process optimization, waste reduction, efficiency improvement
