The Convergence of India and China in a global manufacturing environment is in its early stages. Global Diligence was a featured speaker at a recent conference in Chicago sponsored by Plastics News. The response was excellent and created considerable discussion. Using India for design and China for low cost manufacturing for products from plastics to castings allows companies to shorten design leads times and costs dramatically, add new capacity as a variable cost and increase customer service. Once again Global Diligence LTD keeps its customers in front of trends not behind them wondering what happened.
