Over the past decade many U.S. based electronics manufacturers shifted production to Asia to benefit from low cost labor. As wages continue to rise in China, companies are taking a closer look at how to improve their bottom line. Supply chain strategies are playing a bigger role in ensuring a company’s profitability. According to a 2008 study on air shipping from china, the shipping cost from China of a 40-foot or 12-meter container to the United States rose to $8,000, compared with $3,000 early in the decade.
NAPS offers companies that import product to the U.S. an innovative solution to control freight cost from China. NAPS acts as your partner in Mexico to establish a packaging operation in as little as four weeks. The manufacturer sends components in bulk from Asia; components go into Mexico duty-free; and the product is packaged in Mexico and returned to a warehouse in the U.S. or shipped directly to the end user.
Monster Cable (MC), a leader in the U.S. audio cable market, has manufactured cables in high quality Asian factories for years. Cables were packaged in Asia and shipped to company headquarters in Northern CA for distribution throughout the U.S. In 2006, MC put in place an initiative to improve their bottom line while retaining the quality of their products. The packaging operation that MC established in Mexico has resulted in cost savings of 60% while giving the company added flexibility to adapt to market conditions and customize delivery of their product.
