What about Confidentiality?

Connect in China and it's principals have worked confidential for many customers in the development and manufacturing of their products or components.

What about outsourcing vs. in-house development? Top

In many cases Connect in China can provide the same in-house capabilities of our customers at a substantial cost reduction while maintaining equal or greater quality. For example, we currently produce injected molded dies for injection molding companies for much less than they can produce the dies in their own facility.

What about on-going project communication? Top

Connect in China assigns a project coordinator to each project who is your full time communication resource. The coordinator is in constant communication with our manufacturing facilities during the project, coordinating manufacturing scheduling, parts delivery and final product shipments.

What about the quality? Top

The principals of Connect in China have been doing business with Pacific Rim companies for 23 years. The manufacturing companies we work with are the cream of the crop. They range in size from small artisan tooling companies to very large production/assembly companies with hundreds of employees, multistory modern facilities and equipment.

What about ISO certification? Top

Most of our factories are ISO certified and many are ASA and UL as well.

What about all the problems? Top

Yes, there are a lot of problems, especially if you don't have the years of experience working in international business. We have been doing this for 23 years, know the problems and in most cases anticipate them well before they happen.

You have a product design, now what? Top

We are happy to take on any project at any stage. We can do total turnkey product production or any of the individual steps along the way.

What about shipping costs? Top

Yes shipping is more expensive from the Pacific Rim vs. within the US. However, when shipping is managed properly savings can be realized. We know how to get products shipped the fastest and the least expensive with the most reliable carriers.

What about customs and duty? Top

We will be happy to coordinate and expedite both customs and duty with delivery direct to your facility or customer(s). Or, at your option, you may chose to handle this.

What is the typical time frame from drawings to delivery? Top

Time depends on the complexity of the product or part. PCB boards are three to four weeks after approval of first article. Injected molded dies are four to six weeks after design approval. Injected molded parts are three to four weeks after approval of first article.
