Assemblies often require the cooperation and coordination of many suppliers. For example, an assembly may require extrusion, stampings, welding, machining, painting and assembly. Third party factories may provide anodizing, tooling and fixtures. Scandic gets involved in checking critical sub-suppliers and toolmakers. Scandic’s quality engineers audit, qualify and monitor each step in the supply chain, from the making of the moulds to the painting of the final product. During the production process and before shipment we are on site to check that everything is going according to plan. We make sure that potential problems are identified and solved before it is too late.

You want your supplier to understand that you need quality and delivery too. The price gets you to China, a smooth pipeline keeps you’re here.

• Search

There are an endless number of suppliers in China and it is easy to find one on the internet. Some of the suppliers in China are real manufacturers but many are trading companies. Because most Chinese manufacturing companies do not have export licenses, they often work with trading companies.

However, a trading company sometimes has its own agenda.

There exists a wide range in the quality of Chinese suppliers and it is important to select a supplier that offers the right combination of service, price, and quality to fit your needs. The suppliers you meet at exhibitions and those who have websites are usually the most eager ones to catch a foreign customer.  However, do you know what is behind a nice website or a well-decorated exhibition booth? Do they really produce the products themselves? Do they have the capability to produce what you need? Are the samples representative of the daily production? Are there any hidden risks?

  

We go behind the website, the exhibition boots, and the factory walls to find the real picture for you.

• Evaluation

Scandic Sourcing conducts consulting studies where we, in a systematic way, look into an industry. We can find the leaders and the competent management teams who possess the correct production machinery, the clean and organized factories, the working quality systems, good environmental practices, good labour practices and the willingness to understand your needs.

• Benchmarking 

We research a large group of suppliers in China and weed out all the unqualified ones. We then benchmark the qualified ones according to agreed criteria and pick out the best-fit companies.  With our informative company profiles and short lists you can decide which companies you want to visit, place test orders or do further follow-up by yourself.

This method is especially recommendable when you plan to develop suppliers to fit into your regular supply chain.
