Client Case Studies
Chirl Audits Northern Ireland Company's Chinese Manufacturers
Chirl Sourcing Solutions was approached by a company based in the North of Ireland and involved in spare parts for the petro-chemical industry. Chirl was asked to audit and assess its current suppliers in China.
Chirl audited the manufacturer that the client had been dealing with and presented a full report to the client. Chirl was able to negotiate more favourable terms with the manufacturer and arrange more efficient shipping techniques to save the customer time and money.
The success of this partnership has not only led to substantial growth in the client's business, but Chirl has also worked with the client on designing a new tooling to further its product range and increase business.
Drawing-Board to Reality in Just Four Weeks
Rototeip is a manufacturer and designer of the Angle Master series of tape measures. In January 2005, it partnered with Chirl Sourcing Solutions to take its patented angled hook from the drawing board to reality.
Rototeip had approched several tape manufacturers over a two year period, including several in Asia, but was unable to progress the production of the product. Within four weeks of starting work with Chirl, we had developed the project and overcome the many engineering problems. The first workable prototype and other innovations were introduced. Following completion of the specially designed tooling, the product was introduced to the market with the first finished pieces.
The success of this project has allowed the patent holder to successfully market the product worldwide bearing the tags of innovation and quality.
Electrical Manufacturer & Distributor Drastically Reduce Prices
The electrical/electronics sector is always under pressure to reduce prices. Couple this with increasing material and manufacturing costs and these companies are in danger of having to drastically reduce their margins.
Due to these pressures, a leading electrical manufacturer and distributor approached Chirl to replace its current range of hand dryers. Chirl's belief is that reducing costs does not have to come at the expense of quality. Therefore Chirl concentrated on the higher end of the market and was able to source products that not only fit the requirements but exceeded them and drastically reduced costs.
The success of this project has led to numerous new enquiries from this client.
