Manufacturing
Designs Midwest-Hong Kong was established to control the manufacturing process in China. Our experienced staff help to minimize the problems that can occur when conducting business with Asian factories and vendors.
   
Does this sound familiar?                
  • Parts of products are not built to the specifications your engineering data?
  • Approval samples are recieved and approved but production shipments are manufactured to lower standards and quality.
  • There is a "communications blackout". Nobody returns emails, messages, or nobody speaks English.
  • Original price quotations suddenly change and rise in cost.
  • Parts have been shipped, but nobody knows where they are or why there is a delay in deliver.
  • You've recieved another company's products instead of yours.
  • Packages are delived in sub-standard packing materials and arrived damaged.
  • Off the shelf components that are sourced, are not to correct specifications given, although stated as a direct equivelant.
  • Incorrect or undesired quantities are delivered.
  • Products or components are manufactured poorly or out of tolerance, but shipped anyway
  • Tooling you own and have paid for is used for a competitior's product.
