Thread: Good Kiwi buggers making stuff.

You can get a Chinese company to stick to a standard, but it takes having someone checking on them constantly (this makes up about 1/3 of my work) and most western companies don't do this as they don't understand china. The other issue is that you contract with company A who shows you samples that meet std but when it comes time to actually make the production run they subcontract the work out to companies who can't/won't meet that std. This is often when I get called in, when the western company should have sent someone to check the factory before doing the big order as often it obvious they are just prototype fabricators when you visit them.

China is a cunt of a place to do business, well worth paying a little more to get something made on Taiwan if practical
