Outsourcing or partnering can improve the performance of key corporate functions, but reaping the rewards of improved operational efficiency, reduced expenditure or competitive advantage demands up-to-date knowledge and expertise in the sourcing discipline.
More and more companies are setting up operations overseas. This way they can beat the traditional manufacturers hands-down on cost, however until recently their productivity and quality levels were their greatest challenge. Furthermore it has been argued that the high value R & D function should remain local. Now by using the best technologists in the world, quality, cost and on-time delivery are achieving world-class standards, taking business from long-established manufacturers.
It is rapidly becoming the custom to only manufacture locally, what needs to be made close at hand for specific reasons; such as high technical cost or expertise, high value, small quantity, or short lead-time etc. This field is a key area of success for Textile Innovations Ltd. who can help you find suitable suppliers whose products and services will meet specific quality, technical, aesthetic and ethical standards, or whose equipment and technical skills can be adapted to supply your needs at vastly reduced cost.
With reducing costs of shipping goods around the globe, it is now cost-effective to move or outsource processes with high raw material or manual labour content to low-cost areas of the world. Examples include the manufacture or part-processing of garments, furniture and furnishings, packaging materials, printing and publicity material, luggage, handbags and back-packs etc. Whether it is your raw material, finished goods, or something in-between, we can assist you to make the change and reap the rewards.
