Sourcing

In 2005 our Sourcing Services department was added to help our production clients find other components that were needed to finish their products. Since that time our sourcing services have expanded into providing many of our customers with products that are unrelated to our in-house production capabilities. We currently source finished goods from factories thru out Asia. We currently service clients in the Industrial Safety, Automotive, Hunting, Fishing and Farm & Ranch industries.

Let our location in the heart of Asia work for you. We have real time access to the largest collection of manufacturers in the world. Not only do we speak both their language and your language, we speak with the experience of over 44 years in manufacturing thousands of products for hundreds of customers.


Unleashing Growth: Diversifying Manufacturing with Crosspeed


In a rapidly evolving global marketplace, businesses are constantly seeking innovative strategies to optimize operations and minimize risks. One such strategy gaining traction is "China Plus One" or C+1, a concept synonymous with diversifying manufacturing beyond China. As the business landscape continues to evolve our extensive experience as a multinational organization with direct manufacturing expertise, stands out as a reliable partner in realizing the benefits of this strategy.


Understanding the China Plus One Strategy

 

China Plus One, or C+1, involves the strategic diversification of manufacturing operations beyond China's borders. The goal is to mitigate risks associated with over-reliance on a single manufacturing location, such as China, and instead expand into other promising economies. Countries like India, Thailand, Vietnam, and South Korea are gaining prominence due to their fast-growing economies and burgeoning consumer markets.


For the past two decades, Western companies have primarily focused their investments in China, enticed by its low production costs and massive domestic consumer base. However, evolving dynamics, including rising operating costs and geopolitical uncertainties, have shifted the focus towards diversification. This shift stems from the need for cost control, risk diversification, and long-term stability.


The Corporate C+1 Advantage and Challenges


The escalating costs of doing business in China have underscored the advantages of exploring alternative manufacturing hubs. ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries have emerged as compelling alternatives, offering advantages such as cost-effectiveness, risk diversification, and broader market access. With labor being less expensive in Southeast Asian nations compared to China, companies can exercise better control over production costs. 
Multinational corporations are now looking towards countries with stable governments, such as India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, South Korea, and Bangladesh, to diversify their manufacturing portfolio. The diversification strategy is not limited to specific regions, as countries like Japan, Australia, the United States, and various EU nations are also partaking in this global shift since as early as 2008. While the China Plus One strategy presents numerous advantages, it also comes with its own set of challenges. Navigating new laws, entering unfamiliar markets, and streamlining operations across diverse locations require a strategic and informed approach. With Crosspeed by your side, these challenges can be effectively addressed, ensuring a seamless transition into a more diversified and efficient manufacturing ecosystem.
