Strategic Sourcing

You need a partner

Cander Trade LLC Sourcing is about more than just original equipment manufacturer (OEM) sourcing; it is about developing a sourcing strategy from idea to distribution across a wide range of OEM manufacturing disciplines. Cander Trade LLC Sourcing doesn’t just find what you need; we develop, source, transport and distribute it as well. It's what we’ve been doing in China since 2000.

Almost forty years of looking closely at sourcing and manufacturing in China, Taiwan and the rest of Asia has taught us how to see the Big Picture. We see that sourcing is more complicated than simply finding those manufacturers who can deliver your high quality part or product at a more cost-effective price or in greater quantities.

Sourcing is just part of the BIG PICTURE

You also need R&D. That means sketches, blueprints, maybe even tooling. You not only need to source but you also need to transport and clear customs as well. You’ll also most likely need to store and distribute your part or product. Cander Trade LLC Strategic Sourcing can help you every step of the way.

With Cander Trade LLC Sourcing, you get the advantage of an experienced, strategically focused sourcing operation. One that believes sourcing isn’t just about making something; it’s about being able to dedicate our resources to you and become your OEM sourcing partner throughout the entire process, from initial concept to final distribution. Plus, we guarantee that any quality issues will be dealt with by us.

BIG PICTURE

There are several reasons why a company looks to outsource manufacturing to China or elsewhere in Asia. Having one single point of contact across every stage of the process is the easiest way to delegate responsibility, track performance and focus on what you do best. Throughout the sourcing process, every company usually shares one or more of the following needs:

  • R&D and tooling
  • Sourcing
  • Transport
  • Customs
  • Warehousing & distribution

A BIG PICTURE variety of manufacturing expertise

Cander Trade LLC Sourcing’s long-standing sourcing relationships across China, Taiwan and the rest of Asia, were started with a strong focus on serving our niche disciplines in the cabinetry and RTA industries.

Today, our manufacturing relationships have grown in size and range of disciplines offered, enabling us to provide a wider variety of manufacturing expertise to a larger audience of industries. Manufacturers in our sourcing network play a large roll in researching the new materials and techniques needed to develop tomorrow’s hottest designs and products.

The following lists represent only some of the primary disciplines and industries we serve but are, by no means, comprehensive lists. We are always looking to expand the services we offer and welcome the opportunities to discuss sourcing projects from any industry seeking overseas outsourcing.
