CJTools wins back business from China

Our state of the art Heatsink manufacturing processes have proved cost effective for UK companies for a long time.

So we accepted the apology of the local contact and accepted that the decision was beyond local control and reason. In the face of 'item cost down' pressures, local was seen as expensive when compared with the price promise from China.

Maintaining a professional approach throughout CJP supported the transfer and managed stocks and service as was the requirement.

You can imagine how pleased we were to be asked to resume supply.

'Low cost' from China turned out not to be. The whole life costs of quality, service and price had shown itself to be a false economy. As our local contact put it:

"Business performance is more than just one single component of price - we need service - response and flexibility as well as a good price and quality which doesn't drift from the sample approved.' He added, we felt we'd lost control, our customers aren't so well planned in their demand that we can add a six week shipping cycle as part of their problem."

CJP has an expert Heatsink manufacturing capability. This combined with excellent links to extrusion foundries and our ability to provide Kan ban delivery programs means we really can support our claim to be World Class.

"I'm convinced many more UK companies could gain real benefit from what we have here."
