Material Sourcing

Substantial cost savings are available with China made items, but finding a good China supplier is difficult and risky when you’re on the opposite side of the globe and 12 time zones out of sync. Sicon has a well-established network of qualified subcontractors that meet our high standards for quality and consistency. Many we’ve worked closely with for years, and we consider them as true partners.

When you let Sicon locate suppliers in China, you’ve really relieved yourself of much of the burden of the China connection. We take over all the hard work managing a program, qualifying subcontractors, reviewing their quality systems and document control, final QC inspection, etc. For some particularly difficult to produce items, we even send our QC team to the subcontractors production line and monitor the entire process for the duration of the production run.
