Off-shoring, on-shoring, and near-shoring are all common terms in today’s supply networks. At Creation we describe this global cost-risk strategy as ‘Right-Shoring’ – helping our customers determine best regional fit based on volume, expertise, technology, end market, and product and component characteristics. STRATEGICALLY LOCATED MANUFACTURING LOCATIONS Many of our customers choose Creation because their smart supply chain design aligns with our strategically located locations in four countries, including Mexico and China. Strengthen your relationships: To optimize transportation costs and minimize lead times to your customers in the Midwest, you might select a Creation business unit in Chicago or Milwaukee. Penetrate new markets: Reach new customers in China, for example, with Creation’s established manufacturing business unit in Changzhou that understands market conditions and cultural influences. Optimize your cost and distribution models over the product lifecycle: You could have Creation design and provide rapid prototyping in Chicago, for instance, and then sit back as we manage the manufacturing transfer to full-volume production in Creation’s Mexico business unit.
