For manufacturers
Demand in growth markets is substantial but distant, documentary and exacting. PSI stands between the manufacturer and that demand as a professional buyer — firm purchase orders, quality presence at the factory and payment on documented schedules.
What manufacturers can expect
Firm purchase orders
Specifications, packing and marking are agreed in writing, and inspection is scheduled with the factory in advance.
Payment on schedule
Deposits and balances are paid from the Group's European banks on the documented schedule. PSI has maintained supplier relationships in China, India, Egypt and Europe since 2009.
Recurring volume
PSI supplies importers who reorder. Manufacturers that perform consistently on quality and delivery become part of recurring trade flows into more than one market.
Working with PSI
From the first purchase order, manufacturers deal with a counterparty that fixes specifications in writing, monitors the production schedule, attends pre-shipment inspection and pays on the agreed schedule. Communication is direct, and responses are provided within one business day.
Manufacturers of detergents and their raw materials, industrial chemicals, food ingredients, films and packaging, machinery or consumer goods — able to hold a specification consistently across repeat orders — are invited to introduce their company.
An introduction should state the product range, production capacity, certifications held, export markets already served and the contact responsible for export sales. Qualification typically involves a document review, sample evaluation and, for a first order, attendance at production and pre-shipment inspection by the Group's quality team.
