Ultimately, the partnership gives ACW and SFE's combined customer base access to global manufacturing and supply across factories in the UK, US and China.
Owen Reeves, Managing Director, ACW said: "Our low-cost Asian manufacturing facility, with full back-up from the facilities and processes available in the US is an enticing offering".
"In addition, some of our customers who supply globally have a need for US manufacture".
"This partnership will offer localised product supply combined with excellent support and combined purchasing power; the combination of which will help us maintain and develop relationships with key customers and ensure future growth".
"Partnering with ACW gives our customers a low-risk route towards realising the benefits of low-cost, high-volume manufacturing in Asia", explains Frank Nichols, CEO of SFE.
"US-based companies trying to work directly with manufacturers in China typically experience enormous cultural, language and time-zone challenges that involve a significant financial and resource commitment to overcome, which can ultimately negate the positive reasons for offshoring in the first place".
"Through SFE's US-based interface, we can help bridge these barriers and deliver a service that is experienced and trusted".
"Furthermore, SFE's close links with ACW can ensure that customers have a seamless manufacturing transfer".
