Market Changes
Over recent years, the need for custom design products has increased. Whereas, in the past, companies have fully designed and produced their own assemblies, the trend has been to outsource large parts of this work to specialised specialized firms for mouldings, moldings, assemblies, leads, cables and machined parts.
Most specialist components suppliers only deal with perhaps one or two of the manufacturing disciplines required, still leaving the customer to deal with four or five other suppliers. This involves the main customer still handling logistics, ensuring all parts are received at the right time, holding stocks and finally sending the complete package to the assembly subcontractor. This can often be a logistical nightmare.
