Default Re: Vendor Disappointment

I investigated getting some brake and clutch pedals reproduced in China through a reputable broker. What he told me was, and I paraphrase here, "You can get any level of quality from China that you are willing to pay for. Just remain involved in the production and quality control aspects of the project and you will be fine." I didn't get to the project because someone else beat me to it, but if I were to explore another product, I would look at China again. And I would look for USA resources as well, and make my manufacturing decisions based on quality, not price. When I first started in business 42 years ago, a very wise supplier told me, "You can't go wrong with a first class ticket." I still believe that's true.
