The Challenge: Overcoming Inconsistent Quality from Overseas Suppliers
Updated 3/05/2024
An Australian manufacturer of aluminium skirting boards faced a growing problem: the quality of their imported plastic components was inconsistent and unreliable.
This negatively impacted their production schedule, product quality, and customer satisfaction. They sought a local supplier who could deliver consistent, high-quality components at a competitive price.
