Conclusions
© 2020 Dragon Sourcing. All rights reserved.
Whole project was carried out in 8 weeks with total 108 suppliers identified
20 suppliers responded to the RFI-RFQ document.
Most of the suppliers were failed as they were producing phenolic resin for different applications other
than rubber. Many Chinese suppliers were not reachable and/or not interested to continue which seems impact
due to Coronavirus situation which had started in China over this period.
All the recommended suppliers were top ranking suppliers with substantial savings.
Savings were achieved from several suppliers with highest saving of US$ 1.21 M from Indian supplier
based on 17 SKU’s.
As a next step, Dragon Sourcing recommended to send original samples to shortlisted suppliers &
collection of available samples & sample development from same set of suppliers.
Overall based on the DS Report, It helped client to shortlist and possibly partner with most potential
suppliers from the target countries.
