Barksdale, a wholly-owned subsidiary of a large multinational group,  is an ISO 9001:2015 registered manufacturer of controls for industrial applications, specializing in the control and measurement of fluids.  Founded in 1949 and based in Los Angeles, CA, they have a manufacturing facility in Reichelsheim, Germany and distributors around the world. They command 80 percent of the market share for air suspending valve in the US. In 2014, one of the original suppliers of Barksdale announced increase of price, which put much pressure on Barksdale. As a result, CMS turned to China for solution and it was then that they began cooperation with ChinaSourcing.
It was our philosophy that attracted Barksdale the most. “cost saving, quality assurance, on-time delivery and continuous improvement, these are exactly what we need!” Said the supply chain manager of Barksdale. And it was our one-stop value-added service that made them believe that they can make it in China with the least input.
After fully informed about requests of Barksdale, we recommended YH Autoparts Co., Ltd. as our cooperative supplier. We organized meetings and two-sided visit, after which YH received full recognition by Barksdale.
