The company specialises in the import and export of equipment and machinery, as well as providing engineering consulting services through its subsidiaries, Suzhou Global Industries Mechanical Import & Export Co.

In 2003 GIAS established GIMMC with the business scope of providing plug-and-play manufacturing facilities for Western clients who wanted to start with limited resource commitment and risk.

In 2008 the representative office was converted to GIMIE with the business scope of providing sourcing, quality and logistic services for Western clients.
Quality engineers have worked closely with GI’s customers for years, focusing on quality assurance. In 2016, GIMIE obtained ISO 9001-2015 certification from Intertek Denmark and was audited by the Danish Lead Auditor.

Sourcing in China
China plays a significant role in manufacturing and distribution, reshaping how you source. However, despite the advantages of sourcing from China, it comes with risks. Adequate management of these risks is essential to ensure an efficient and profitable sourcing operation. In short, risk management is an indispensable component of a successful sourcing strategy in China.

Navigating the world of China sourcing can prove to be complex. Among the numerous challenges to overcome are language barriers, cultural differences, and quality challenges. Therefore, understanding these different types of risks and how to prevent them is essential.

One of the significant risks associated with China’s sourcing is quality risk. Quality standards can vary significantly from supplier to supplier, making maintaining a consistent quality level challenging.

Logistic challenges represent another type of risk. Delivery times, transport costs, and supplier coordination can hinder successful sourcing in China.

Prevention is better than cure. There are several preventative strategies to minimise risks when sourcing from China:

Research into potential suppliers is essential. A factory audit can reduce some risks associated with China sourcing. This involves examining suppliers’ backgrounds, production capabilities, reputation, and compliance with quality standards. As part of a factory audit, a site visit provides a better understanding of the supplier’s operations, which can reduce risks.

Contracts should be drafted to prevent misunderstandings. Establishing detailed agreements with suppliers is another effective preventative measure. These contracts should specify quality, delivery times, compliance, and dispute resolution expectations.

Effective communication is fundamental for maintaining a successful supplier-buyer relationship. Therefore, it is crucial to establish a clear and regular communication channel with your suppliers to avoid misunderstandings and quickly manage any issues that may arise.

You can maximise your sourcing efforts in China by recognising and understanding the associated risks. You can also implement preventative methods and apply practical solutions. In addition, well-conducted risk management avoids problems and creates opportunities, increasing your competitiveness and improving your reputation. Ultimately, sound risk management in sourcing is an investment that can yield significant long-term benefits.
