As a UK manufacturer, we prefer to supply our customers, UK manufactured items. However in some instances this is not possible, where volume and assembly are concerned, it is often much cheaper to supply via the far east. Over four years ago the Premier Group joined forces with a large injection moulding/assembly company in Hangzhou China. Working together on design and manufacture we now offer the facilities of tooling manufacture for shipping to the UK, or tooling, moulding and assembly work in China for shipment globally.
As both companies work on the same CAD systems, it is very easy for us to integrate their manufacturing processes using our cad designs. Shown in the image below is a deactivation unit that was designed in the UK, prototyped in the UK then tooled and moulded in the China facility. This enabled the client to deal directly with us in the UK and benefit from the far eastern cost savings on both tooling and manufacture.
![]() China is not always the best root for manufacture as the cost of shipping can be prohibitive on large items and also shipping time will also add 5/6 weeks to manufacturing times. We are pleased to be able to offer this service and are happy to offer comparative quotes. We have a lot of experience in shipping globally so please enquire for any of your manufacturing requirements and we can advise of the best manufacturing root to market.
