A US food packaging company had a production expansion plan scheduled be realized in 2025. The company needed to add in many types of equipment and among them were large dryers and humidifiers, the combo. Our task was to verify and audit the Chinese manufacturer that was contracted by a trading company that the client found at Alibaba.com. The other optional source was a Malaysian manufacturer. Our finding from the audit and the pricing of the trading company made the buyer give its final choice to the Chinese factory.
At Viotech, we’re proud to support our clients throughout every step of their sourcing journey. Recently, we helped a U.S. company successfully source and ship their first bulk order of PU foam—a total of three 40GP containers—from China.
A U.S. power plant in California needed a massive custom boiler from a Chinese manufacturer—a shipment so large it required 13 containers. Designed for a unique application and assembled by a U.S. engineering company, the boiler was critical for plant operations. However, when the buyer received contradictory shipping dates from the supplier, confusion set in. One week it was ready in September, the next, the new ship date was December.
