Hint 1: that would be exactly the same as bringing it to "Stonetronics" or whatever.
Hint 2: there are solutions to projects not working out. They are called "Project Managment", "Contracts", "Supplier audit",...

I'm in US.  Companies like Nemic Lamda will make anything you want.  But quantity has to be substantial for a custom job. 

I'm sorry if I sound biased and prejudicial, but I would be afraid to order custom anything from China.  I know they are capable of making great projects, but I would have to personally visit them, make personal connections, then start business transactions.  Japan is kind of like that, too.  That will only make sense if quantities are very VERY large.

So, question for you.  Are you talking about one off, or a large projection scale?   What kind of special quality do you need that cannot be met by what they sell?

I am talking of ..well, it could be either one off, or large scale…
But as an example…take this power supply………….

..shown here at  00:29 of this….

….I am not saying this was arranged by stontronics…but it’s the kind of thing they  can arrange…its nothing special, but there is nothing for it offtheshelf.
(the power supply is in her right hand, seen at 00:29.)
.....This power supply  is 70w, offline, and charges a capacitor up to about 350V repetitively every second, at which point it flashes over a xenon tube.

You speak of Nemic Lamda….i am sure they are great, but what if 10 or more companies approach them at the same time…..they are only one company..they have finite resources.,…and this is why a company like stontronics wins the day…because they  have close contact with hundreds of  enormous Chinese smps companies, and can allocate the work to the right company at the right time.

Thanks, Right!...thats where stontronics comes into it...they  have already made those relationships for you, with multiple enormous chinese smps companies, and have a long list of happy customers who have benefitted.
They will also arrange you to have a personal visit to the chinese company  if you want........and you will be confident that it wont be wasted time.

Now that i have explained what stontronics is about.... may i please ask who is the "stontronics" of your country?
Or dont you have one?
Do you have trade tariffs which makes "stontronics" impossible in your country?
Does your country just use stontronics in UK?
Do you have a "stontronics", but they keep themselves secret so that no-one else hears about their Far Eastern Bounty and jumps on the bandwagon?

But that is not at all how Stontronics describe themselves on their website. They claim to have their own manufacturing site in the UK (Hartlepool) for low to medium volume production, and their own production site in China (Dongguan) for medium to higher volumes. They are not a small shopp. part of Stadium, which in turn has recently been acquired by TT Electronics.

That looks like a reasonable business model, and indeed one where I would not expect to find a handful of similar companies in every European country. But it is quite different from the model which you had described, i.e. acting as a go-between who interfaces with loads of independent Chinese manufacturers.
