CMS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of a large multinational group, specializes in vending machine manufacturing. In 2006, the original supplier of CMS announced increase of price, which put much pressure on CMS. As a result, CMS turned to other countries for solution and it was then that they got to know ChinaSourcing.

We explained in details our one-stop value-added sourcing service which attracted CMS a lot. “cost saving, quality assurance and logistic service, these are exactly what we need!”, said the sourcing manager of CMS.

CMS decided to transfer the production of water tank to China, and we chose GH Co. Ltd. as the manufacturer after analysis on requirements of CMS. GH Co. Ltd. is a stainless steel products manufacturer with advanced and effective management.

The water tank is used in vending machine for coffee, which requires prominent leak-proof capability in long term and also the accuracy of size of interface. And it is made of stainless steel 316L, with passivating treatment on surface.

As it was the first time that GH manufactured this type of product, the technical person of our project team provided full guidance on technology and production process. And at our suggestion, GH reformed their workshop and purchased a series of new equipment such as laser cutting machine.

It took only 2 months for ChinaSourcing and GH to push forward the project from prototype development to mass production.
The water tank
Now the cooperation has been lasting for 15 years and the project has entered totally mature stage. We supply 11 models of water tank for CMS, the capacity from 3L to 20L. We have been sticking to GATING PROCESS, one of our original methodologies, in production all along, thanks to which the defective rate is lower than 0.01%. In term of logistics, we always have safety inventory and we set up consignment center in the US, therefor, there has never been delay in delivery until now. And we conduct accurate costs calculation to assure the customer of at least 40% cost reduction.

Cost saving, quality assurance, on-time delivery and continuous improvement, we fulfilled our promises to CMS, and the long-term cooperation based on trust shows best the recognition of our work from CMS.
