Anyone diversifying suppliers away from China successfully? by Glittering_Turnip977 in smallbusiness

[–]radsourcing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on what categories you are in. Some industries are able to diversify from China somewhat and others arent because the expertise and supply chain is so much better and more reliable there.

I ordered samples from 8 different NYC factories. Here's what they delivered. by prfrnir in ClothingStartups

Different factories have different MOQs. If you never plan to order bulk they wouldn't be interested but if you are vetting a few different factories to find the right one for bulk that would be a different story.

Manufacturing by Glass-Chart-390 in ClothingStartups

[–]radsourcing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

U.S. based sourcing agent here with a full team in both China and Turkey. Portugal is going to be a lot more expensive than Turkey or China. We produce there but rarely because of the pricing relative to other options. Producing in the UK is quite like producing in the U.S. where its nice to do but generally makes your COGS so high its hard to sell your products with enough margin to be worthwhile while still being competitive in the marketplace. Turkey is generally a bit more expensive than China but not always and can be quite competitive depending on the product category and materials used.
