The lowest price doesn’t guarantee the best result.
Last year, we had the opportunity to submit a quote to a potential new customer for a complex cast part.
Our quote was based on our ALL-IN Sourcing Service,
which includes a comprehensive calculation of the CBAM data package - essential given the customer’s annual import volume of over 50 tons from China.

Our offer was further strengthened by the on-site deployment of our independent SolidTechnics quality control (QC) team, as well as careful project monitoring. This multi-layered approach is designed to provide our customers with consistent quality, transparency, and unparalleled supply chain reliability.
At that time, we were not the most cost-effective option, and the customer decided to place the order directly with a manufacturer in China.
In February, we received a call from the customer expressing their desire to place the order with SolidTechnics instead. The initial samples we provided demonstrated a level of quality and process control that set us apart from the competition. This pivotal moment was the catalyst for what has since become a solid, long-term partnership.
It is with great pride that I share the news that mass production officially began last month in Chengdu, China.
A few weeks ago, I asked our client for permission to discuss this case publicly, and I was delighted to receive their approval. Maintaining confidentiality is of the utmost importance to us at SolidTechnics, and we greatly value the trust our partners place in us by allowing us to share specific success stories.

Ultimately, this experience confirms an important principle:
True value in business goes beyond mere price.
It is reflected in reliability, quality, and a sense of responsibility throughout the entire supply chain.
