Launching a successful project starts with one critical decision: choosing the right manufacturing partner.
Finding the right supplier, and on the right continent? Let’s talk strategy.
In a global market, the allure of low-cost overseas suppliers can be tempting. But when it comes to quality, reliability, and long-term value, things are not so black and white. In fact, according to a 2024 Deloitte report, 64% of European businesses are reshoring or nearshoring to reduce risk and improve supply chain resilience.
So, what exactly are those advantages which are deemed important enough for a business to choose a European-based supplier?
1️⃣ Shorter Lead Times: Shipping within Europe is significantly faster than intercontinental freight. This means quicker turnaround, faster time-to-market, and fewer delays.
2️⃣ Aligned Time Zones: Real-time communication is critical. Working with a European partner eliminates the lag of timezone differences, enabling agile collaboration and faster problem-solving.
3️⃣ Strict Quality Standards: European manufacturers operate under some of the world’s most rigorous quality and environmental regulations. At ADIS, we’re proud to be a TIER 1 supplier delivering perfect quality and on-time delivery, every time.
4️⃣ Cost Efficiency Beyond the Price Tag: While offshore options may seem cheaper upfront, hidden costs like shipping, customs, delays, and quality issues often outweigh the initial savings.
And if that wasn’t enough, one final step which really can not only help meet certain ISO or SOC standards, but also help the planet, is sustainability. With growing pressure to reduce carbon footprints, sourcing closer to home is a smart move. European logistics networks are greener, and local production supports circular economy goals.
