For all competitive purchasing managers and salespeople, a reliable, low-cost source of parts and manufactured components is necessary to stay competitive in today’s business world. Nothing can sink a multi-million dollar sale more quickly than defective parts or a failed delivery schedule. Global sourcing is the way of the business world, and failing to get involved in global sourcing will push your company on a back burner.
Staying competitive requires that your company outsource some if not all of its machining and manufacturing to countries where the quality can be maintained at enormous price breaks.
Outsourcing your products comes complete with a whole different set of problems. Here at Tricord we have taken the guesswork out of outsourcing to provide your company with the best product at the lowest price. By positioning your company to reap the benefits while investing a minimum of time and concern, you are also positioned to fatten your bottom line significantly. No matter what component parts you need sourced, you must have a reliable manufacturer who maintains the high quality and low cost you expect while providing consistent and reliable shipping.
Providing global sourcing advantages at your fingertips is our specialty here at Tricord, and we have multiple ways to ensure our clients are always satisfied:
Repeatable Quality

No more unpleasant surprises in a shipment: Tricord has eradicated the element of uncertainty through the on-site inspector program. Even if your technical and manufacturing needs are less than ordinary, an inspector will be trained and vetted to perform inspections based on your criteria.
