Assembly & Manufacturing in China

Set up shop in China. From import to production to sales.

When trying to sell products in China, many companies find that import regulations and transportation barriers are not only hard to overcome but also elevate the cost of their products. One of the best solutions is transferring part of the product assembly and/or manufacturing process into China – without losing control over IP and important work processes.
A trusted partner can guide you through process implementation, and help you create a safe and controlled manufacturing environment.

Here are three options that are designed to help:

Contract Manufacturing

You do not have to establish your own local production plant in order to start manufacturing in China. You can start out with a low-risk, light-commitment model called Contract Manufacturing. In this model, PTL Group takes care of some or all manufacturing aspects for you – from component procurement and product assembly in China to QC and shipping. We treat your product design, intellectual property and trade secrets in full confidentiality.

The Contract Manufacturing model includes an initial assessment stage, in which a team of experts helps you assess the cost of purchasing local components for your products and adjusts the final design to local market needs. We can also assess the cost of manufacturing in China for full or partial assembly options.

You can rely on our Contract Manufacturing for as long as you need, until you decide the time has come to set up your own manufacturing facilities.
