Sourcing Feasibility Study
In cases where the client does not have existing sub-suppliers in China, PassageMaker can identify suitable local suppliers meeting client's requirements for price, lead time, and quality. All pricing and supplier information is made transparent to client. Visit our “ Sourcing Feasibility Study” section for more details and research fee structure. Proper supplier research exposes true pricing points, identifies qualified partners and results in significant savings for the client.
Vendor Coordination
Client is welcome to coordinate on their own delivery of raw materials and sub-components to our assembly center for processing. If desired, PassageMaker’s China-based, bi-lingual purchasing engineers are available to manage sub-suppliers and shipping partners ensuring that all customer requirements for price, quality and lead-time are realized.

American managed assembly centers provide centralized, secure, reliable environment for inspection (in-bound quality control, in-process QC, final QC), assembly, custom packaging and freight consolidation. Information is kept confidential and products are looked after in a professional manner. Inventory Levels can be monitored daily on-line.
Logistics
PassageMaker’s in-house licensed customs brokers and logistics managers are available to coordinate door-to-door delivery, working to book the best rates and shortest lead times for freight on a global basis. This is a free service to clients.
Injected Plastics & Fabricated Metals
Our in-house manufacturing divisions specializing in Injected Plastics and Fabricated Metals may be utilized in cases where the client is hesitant to pass on sensitive designs and branding to outside sub-suppliers.
Equity Joint Venture
When production space and staffing requirements are substantial, setting up a dedicated factory in China may be a consideration. It is the preferred option for clients that want greater control over the production process (quality and design security), but prefer to avoid the headaches associated with “going it alone” as the effort required to build and manage a factory from the ground up can be intimidating, especially for those businesses which are new to China. As client’s equity partner, PassageMaker leverages its existing business infrastructure and proven China track record to facilitate the formation of, and oversee the operations of the factory in China.

Benefits of PassageMaker's Tool & Die Shop include:
• Security of Design. Tooling is not farmed out to sub-suppliers.
• No middlemen. Short lead times & attractive China pricing.
• Ease of communication: American staff based full-time in China.
