While costs have been increasing, China continues to be one of the top worldwide locations for manufacturing hardlines, with the outsourcing market growing at around 30% p.a. Reducing costs and affording companies the time to focus on core activities are most often cited for the reasons entities look to outsource some or all of their production to China. Uncertainty, driven by barriers of distance and time, cultural differences, language, and an overall lack of trust, has added at best caution and at worst hidden costs to China sourcing. If you are looking to source product from China, improve your current supply chain, or fortify your quality assurance and quality control infrastructure, Sertus can help. Learn how.

Custom Solutions to Complex Problems
„„ Sertus is a supply chain
management company with
wholly owned operations in
China. The company is owned by
Western professionals.
„„ Through our network of
packaging and warehousing
facilities in China, as well as
on-the-ground, qualified
personnel, Sertus helps companies
manage difficult sourcing challenges
and squeeze costs out of the
supply chain
„„ In addition to managing contract
manufacturing assignments for new
designs, Sertus also works with
companies to reduce COGS and
improve quality by locating new
sources of production for products
already being sold
„„ Sertus acts as a “quality gate,”
receiving products in our facilities for
final assembly and/or packaging and/
or inspection. This helps to protect
intellectual property by providing
visibility to sub-suppliers on only a
portion of the finished product.
