Global Product Sourcing

Your product requirements. International sourcing possibilities.

JRI supports businesses seeking products, components, manufacturing capabilities, and international representation across a broad range of applications.

Capabilities

Services scoped to each engagement.

Every service below is offered within an agreed project scope. Not every engagement requires every service.
01

Product Sourcing

We identify manufacturing capabilities suited to your product, materials, and quality expectations, drawing on a broad network of factories that produce components for many types of products.

Requirements you might bring

  • A finished product to be manufactured to an existing specification
  • A component or part that needs an alternative source
  • A product family requiring several materials or processes
02

Product Development

For new or evolving products, we help translate concepts, references, and drawings into manufacturable specifications, working through materials, processes, and samples with the factory.

Requirements you might bring

  • A concept that needs prototypes and sampling
  • An existing product to be refined or re-engineered
  • Packaging and presentation for a new product line
03

Production Coordination

Once a supplier is agreed, we coordinate communication with the factory on production details, schedules, and changes — within the scope agreed for your project.

Requirements you might bring

  • Coordinating a first production order
  • Managing specification changes between runs
  • Keeping production updates in one channel
04

Quality Assurance Coordination

We help define quality expectations up front and coordinate inspections and approvals where they are part of the agreed scope, so product quality is discussed before it is shipped.

Requirements you might bring

  • Agreeing sample approval criteria
  • Coordinating pre-shipment inspection
  • Documenting finish and tolerance expectations
05

Distribution Support

Our experience includes routes to market through independent stores, larger retail channels, and online — helping position products for the channel they are intended for.
