Back to Case StudiesThe client, an American manufacturer of industrial safety products for climbing, identified significant cost-saving opportunities by relocating production to Asia. However, the transition introduced challenges in maintaining compliance with stringent US standards for personal protective equipment (PPE).
To mitigate quality assurance risks and support the establishment of a reliable offshore production network, the company engaged ARC Group to provide expertise across supply chain development, execution and quality control.
The opportunity
Offshoring production to Vietnam offered the client substantial cost advantages but required careful oversight to ensure product quality, supplier reliability and compliance with US regulatory requirements. By building a structured supply chain framework and implementing robust quality controls, the client could capture cost efficiencies while safeguarding its brand and meeting the rigorous expectations of the PPE market.
Our Approach
ARC Group deployed dedicated supply chain specialists to build multi-category production networks, identify suitable factories and negotiate pricing that met the client’s profitability targets without compromising quality.
We supported the management of multiple suppliers, diversifying the supply chain to enhance agility and resilience while fostering transparent communication through structured engagement.
In the final phase, ARC conducted on-site quality checks, validated compliance with US standards and implemented measures to prevent product failures, ensuring a smooth and reliable offshore manufacturing process.
The Impact
ARC Group enabled the client to achieve cost savings of 30-70% by shifting production to Asia, while maintaining zero quality issues in US-bound PPE shipments.
The engagement established a scalable and flexible regional supply chain, strengthened quality assurance processes and enhanced the client’s readiness for long-term investment and strategic growth.
