Trade Winds

The China Connection Trade Winds is partner and the Caribbean counterpart of the China Connection. Experienced purchase agents qualify potential Chinese suppliers on critical issues as quality (systems), reliability, financial stability and references. Then the negotiations start for a wide range of products, driven by customer demand. Central selection criteria are quality, price/performance and immediate availability of spare parts. A stronghold is that the purchase power of many markets are combined to satisfy the production requirements of Chinese manufacturers. The items are shipped to a warehouse in Ningbo, stored, checked and then distributed over containers per destination, which have a multitude of products, normally not available from Chinese manufacturers. To minimise transportation cost, containers are balanced, combining heavy, compact items with light, bulky products. This alone is a major reason for clients to partner with Trade Winds. Products include steel products, power and garden tools , paper products, electronics and electric equipment. Customers may compose a full container with different products and benefit from the combined purchase power, local agents, optimal logistics, no hassle, experienced partner and low commission. Companies with subsidiaries in multiple islands can request to send mixed containers to each island or may share in containers with several customers. The same "best of class" philosophy of the China Connection
