When it comes to manufacturing, China is an attractive alternative for companies of every size. China’s low-cost tooling and unit pricing can afford a significant advantage over domestic manufacturing. Considering the benefits, why haven’t more U.S. companies switched to Chinese production?

Because cost is not the issue in China. With the click of a mouse, anyone can find a low-cost Asian manufacturer. The challenge in China is finding a reliable manufacturer – a process that can take many years. Whereas in western cultures business is often conducted between strangers, relationships in China are cultivated over time. These carefully cultivated relationships are requisite for doing business in China.
