Consider us your GPS Navigation System for Asian Sourcing. 

Although a lot of people pitch the benefits of “off-shoring” manufacturing to Asia, if you’ve tried to navigate it on your own you’ve realized the reality is a little different.

Unless you’re a large conglomerate with your own facility in Asia, the road is long and mostly uphill. Some typical complications include:

- Translating drawing and specification instructions
- Freight logistics
- Payment schedules
- Quality Issues
- Cultural Issues, including the fact that they tend to only work well with those they trust, and trust is only built over time with an investment in long-term relationships.

We’re a few steps ahead of the market.

That's why Carlisle International has invested heavily in pre-qualifying small to mid-size Asian manufacturers and companies that are:

- Private companies (not State run)
- ISO/QS/TS certified
- CAD & Web enabled
- Financially stable
- With Impeccable customer references

Carlisle International helps negotiate credit, and offers warehousing for finished goods Stateside. We use our own and also independent QA services to support and verify NPI. We have staff on the ground that regularly visits with suppliers and benchmarks activity. Lastly, Carlisle's principals personally visit the region and work diligently to develop the  rapport needed for long-term relationships.
