Our working method

Read here how we work.

Quality Control

Quality control is central to our services. We employ a rigorous system of checks and balances to ensure that every product we source meets the highest standards of quality and safety. Through pre-defined quality control procedures, including pre-inspections, during-production inspections and pre-shipment inspections, we ensure that all products are consistent and match customer specifications.

From design to delivery

The process from sourcing to delivery is complex and multifaceted. Westwood Sourcing guides you through every stage, from the initial design of your product and packaging development to strict quality controls and efficient logistics. Our integrated approach ensures that every aspect of your production is carefully managed and optimized, with a constant focus on sustainability and innovation. In addition, we remain flexible and responsive, ready to adapt to dynamic market conditions and your changing needs.

Sourcing in China

Bij sourcing in China benutten we onze diepgaande kennis van de lokale markt en cultuur om strategische relaties op te bouwen met betrouwbare fabrikanten. We waarborgen transparantie, kwaliteit en naleving van internationale standaarden door intensieve communicatie en regelmatige fabrieksbezoeken. Onze aanpak is gericht op het vinden van de beste balans tussen kostenefficiëntie en kwaliteitsborging.

From design to delivery

In our approach to sustainability, we focus on integrating green strategies throughout every step of the sourcing process. We work closely with our customers and suppliers to ensure that all products and processes are not only economically viable, but also environmentally friendly and ethical. Our efforts include promoting the use of sustainable materials, reducing waste and encouraging recycling initiatives.
