Amidst massive recalls on products made in China, one Chinese manufacturer is making a name for itself based on quality.
China, People's Republic of (Press Release) October 26, 2007 --
Los Angeles, CA October 26, 2007 – The recent flood of complaints and recalls of Chinese manufactured goods has generated negative attention to the entire country’s export-centric economy. With news of contaminated toothpaste, Barbie dolls painted with lead paint, and faulty tires recalled to China, how can the good manufacturers separate themselves from the bad?
“Quality control,” answers American Metal & Technology’s CEO Chen Gao. “We’ve always focused on quality control because our clients put trust in us to provide a finished product that meets global standards. All of our manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified. Many of our clients are European and North American companies who have a global brand to uphold. Our reputation for quality has helped us grow as product requirements tighten. We are able to stand out from other production facilities that will cut corners on safety and quality just to save a dime.”
Saving a few cents in the short term can end up costing millions in the long term. New Jersey based Foreign Tire Sales was forced to recall 450,000 tires that were manufactured by Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber, a manufacturer in Eastern China. The Chinese manufacturer had left out a gum strip that keeps the tread from separating to save about 40 cents per tire. Foreign Tire Sales estimates it will cost $200 per tire to honor the recall.
With a 2006 trade surplus of $177 Billion (USD), it would be nearly impossible to have zero defective goods exported from China. However, since the issue of quality is being so heavily publicized by consumers and government agencies alike, the pressure is on retailers and marketers to deliver safe, high-quality products.
“For a long time everyone thought the only reason to manufacture in China was cost savings. It is cheaper to manufacture here than many places, because of the lower labor rates, but many companies here are now striving to be technology leaders as well. We want to provide the best quality manufacturing in the world,” added Gao.
