Questions We Take On
Three examples of the work clients bring to us.
Adding a Chinese Compressor Line in the Gulf
A distributor of a European compressor brand in the Gulf wants a mid-range line of permanent-magnet variable-speed screw compressors. Which manufacturer, at what price position, and will parts still be available in year five?
- The work
- We trace where each candidate’s airend and motor are made, compare efficiency and reliability data, and assess three manufacturers on site, including ownership, finances and parts stock. Configuration is checked for high ambient temperatures and dust.
- Deliverables
- A recommended manufacturer with the comparison behind it, a landed-cost and pricing model, a first spare-parts list, and the warranty and claims terms to put in the contract.
A New CNC Machining Cell in Mexico
A tier-two automotive supplier in northern Mexico needs six vertical machining centres with robot loading. European and Japanese quotations exceed the budget. Can Chinese machines hold accuracy, and who services them locally?
- The work
- We compare CNC control, spindle, screw and guide sources across leading Chinese builders and their service presence in Mexico, run test cuts on the customer’s part, and model five-year total cost of ownership against the original quotations.
- Deliverables
- A recommended configuration, a total-cost comparison, test-cut inspection results, factory and site acceptance criteria, and a spare-parts kit.
Choosing a Storage Supplier for C&I Solar in Vietnam
A commercial and industrial solar EPC in Vietnam is asked to add battery storage. Prices vary widely. Are the cells reliable, can a ten-year capacity warranty be honoured, and will the supplier still exist in five years?
- The work
- We map cell, PCS and BMS sources, compare cycle-life data and certification status, and review each supplier’s shareholders, funding, revenue and liabilities before assessing pack lines and test capability on site.
- Deliverables
- A supplier rating on our nine dimensions, with technology, financial strength and warranty credibility in focus, a due diligence report on the shortlisted supplier, and recommended warranty terms.
