We’ve been working with CPG since mid-2020. Since then, we’ve expanded our China sourcing program despite the Covid pandemic and significantly reduced our first costs. They’ve also been instrumental in implementing comprehensive quality assurance protocols.

CPG is a great company and out of all the companies I considered, they were the most experienced. I had the most confidence in CPG successfully completing our transition and all that came afterward.
Purchasing Manager
of a scientific supply company
We started working with CPG in 2018. From the very onset, they provided us with 2 valuable services: they helped us establish the quality standards we needed, and they secured sources for a very large volume of product in a short time. We have been working with them ever since on many projects.
Robert Stillman
CEO of a promotional products company
We reached out to CPG Sourcing for help with the overseas sourcing of our packaging. We needed a trusted partner who could provide a link to a culture, language, and skill set that we didn’t own internally. I have to give credit to CPG for making this process very understandable for a company of our size.

I highly recommend working with China Performance group. They have been a big part of our current success.
CPG has been doing sourcing and trade liaison work since the 70’s. They’re 100% the best business partners you could imagine, since they are based IN China with an office in New Jersey. They are pros and cost-effective. I can’t really say enough good things about them.
Juliette Fassett

CPG has helped me understand and navigate my supply chain in an extremely valuable and comprehensive way that I thought was not possible before I began working with them. They are truly industry experts, and they think of ideas I would not have thought of myself to help make my supply chain efficient. Their communication is patient, responsible and effective, and I could not imagine working with any better team to manage my supply chain processes. Thank you CPG!

Managing the purchasing for a small business, I was looking for financially viable ways to expand our production line while maintaining the highest quality standards. We found CPG to be indespensible for our offshore manufacturing. We are very satisfied with the attention to our quality details and the professional, responsive staff. We highly recommend CPG for any business looking to manufacture in China.

What are the critical issues faced by supply chain management in China?
What are the critical issues faced by supply chain management in China?
Communication: Dealing with long distance and multiple time zones makes it very difficult to manage China operations in real time from the USA. Effective management requires an on-site management team and excellent communication skills.
Cultural and Linguistic Barriers: Navigating global supply chains involves overcoming language and cultural differences, demanding effective cross-cultural communication and understanding. This is a significant challenge in China because both culture and language are very different. Demand Forecasting and Responsiveness: Accurately predicting and swiftly adapting to shifts in demand are pivotal for supply chain efficiency.
Risk Management: Proactive risk mitigation strategies are essential for anticipating and mitigating potential disruptions to the supply chain.
Transparency and Control: Maintaining transparency and control throughout the supply chain ensures optimal performance and risk reduction.
Cost-Benefit Analysis: Conducting rigorous cost-benefit analyses aids in decision-making, optimizing resource allocation, and cost control.
Responsible Sourcing: Embracing sustainable practices that align with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards is crucial for responsible sourcing in modern supply chain management.

What is China's role in the global supply chain?
What is China's role in the global supply chain?
-China has nearly 3 million production plants, factories, and workshops covering a broad range of products. China’s low cost of labor and massive labor force led many multinational companies to outsource their manufacturing operations to China in recent decades, and it is often referred to as “the world’s factory.”
-China’s rapid development of infrastructure–a well-developed network of ports, airports, and roads, as well as a large fleet of ships and planes that transport goods around the world–has solidified its leading role in the global supply chain, even as new countries are beginning to challenge China’s supply chain dominance. -While China’s role in the global supply chain was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as by ongoing trade tensions with the United States, it is likely to continue to play a significant role in the global supply chain in the long term.

What makes a supply chain stable?
What makes a supply chain stable?
A stable supply chain has minimal disruptions and delays. It requires flexibility and agility in order to adapt to changes in demand as well as contingency planning to respond quickly and effectively to disruptions when they occur. The risk of disruption can be mitigated through diversification of raw materials, suppliers, and transportation routes, as well as strong relationships with suppliers that can help support businesses during times of disruption. Having visibility into the supply chain and clear communication with partners can help organizations anticipate and respond to disruptions more effectively.
