Sourcing

Our experienced staff have all traveled to many of our partner factories and developed strong working relationships with companies we can recommend to our customers.

Pricing

Finding a fair price that both the manufacturer and the supplier can agree upon takes trust, experience, and a hyper-awareness of the market. Con-Tech’s sales personnel have years of negotiating with overseas custom manufacturing companies, resulting in a great reputation and built-in trust. We constantly watch and evaluate our markets to determine how to price products and materials.
