Quick delivery of standard products in stock
European suppliers have a lot of products in stock that are popular in the European markets and that can be delivered within a short period of time and in smaller stocks. In addition, they can often also provide samples quickly, and deliver in small quantities.
The downside is that these products are offered to a lot of companies and the suppliers only stock what they can sell, so you risk having promotional items that are less unique. Furthermore these products are often more expensive compared to products produced in the Far East.
We see more and more companies choosing to plan with a longer delivery time, while achieving all the benefits of manufacturing completely custom products. However, sometimes delivery time is crucial, and that is where European suppliers can be the best overall solution.
