--- Quote --- i.e. acting as a go-between who interfaces with loads of independent Chinese manufacturers. --- End quote --- Thanks, In fact It would be just like that...thats how stontronics is......all Chinese industry, despite appearances, is essentially owned by the chinese government......no Chinese company is allowed a free reign to do entirely its own business...it must report back to "HQ"...this is how stontronics have connections to many of them. Sure Stontronics want to keep their hand in manufacture aswell, because it only enhances their prescence in the power supply sales world. --- Quote ---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. http://stontronics.com/manufacturing-facilities/ --- End quote --- I know a company who got a power supply done via stontronics...and it wasnt and isnt designed/manufactured in hartlepool or dong guan...it is designed/manufactured in Shenzehn at a massive chinese smps company called Mass Power. |

Salcomp if you need volumes. Changes are that almost every forum member here has at least one Salcomp manufactured charger at home. |

More that that model needs a fair amount of scale to work at all well, and is highly capital intensive to set up. If Stontronics/Stadium/TT are reasonably efficient at it then there is probably no reason for anyone else to try to compete (There are other more easily profitable things to do with the money), that may change come October, we will see. I would bet the Hartlepool office will move to somewhere still in Europe if the infants in the westminster creche don't wind up with a competent nanny, quicktime. Not really somewhere I play because for industrial kit, standard, off the shelf is just better. |

Not just a simple brokerage/outsourcing shop. |
