John Martin. Managing Director, Integra Products.
“Completing time critical product development programmes with suppliers 8,000 miles away, on different time zones and in a different language is often fraught and costly. We recently used RPIC’s project management support to coordinate a multi-million pound new product range for B&Q involving three Integra suppliers. Their logical, calm and diplomatic approach ensured the project was delivered punctually, on budget and to the requisite quality.”

Alan Ross, Managing Director (Stylex Auto Products)
“Stylex Auto Products Ltd has been a regular user of the research and sourcing capabilities of the RPIC office in Shanghai and has been very satisfied with the level of support offered. This has ranged from sourcing research to supplier evaluations and contract negotiation. In all instances, the services of RPIC have been both professional and accurate and I would gladly recommend this office to other
companies requiring similar support.”  

Steve Taylor, Operations Director (Totton Pumps Limited)
“RPIC works with your team to understand your product and how they can help you source lower cost components and assemblies in China. Totton Pumps built a strategy on lower cost procurement in China and now over 60% of our purchases are sourced there. RPIC understands the importance of the relationship between the customer and supplier, and will only select suppliers that suit the needs of
your business.” 

Andrew Davies, Procurement & Sourcing Director (PCL)
“For the last 5 years RPIC have been our 'colleagues in China' without whom it would not have been possible to develop the business to the extent we have done. With their wealth of experience dealing with the local supply base combined with their understanding of our business needs, it has given us the confidence and ability to do things that otherwise would not have been possible.”

Pierre Nadeau, Group Managing Director (Sparex Ltd.)
“Sparex is a Worldwide distributor of products for the agriculture industry and our main focus is to service our customers with a wide range of rightly priced and quality replacement parts for tractors and other agriculture machinery and in addition we service a whole range of accessories used in the farming industry: on farms, at agricultural dealers, workshops and country stores. There is a constant need to review our product lines to ensure we remain competitive on price and quality and we are also constantly looking to add new products to complement our product ranges or in some cases innovative products to service our market needs.

Over the last few years RPIC has been an extremely useful partner in developing new products for our business and also assisting in re-sourcing some key product lines where we have achieved substantial cost savings and opportunities to be more competitive on others. The team at RPIC has also been instrumental at developing our knowledge of the Chinese supply market.”
