A: Vellan Global is a Indian company currently located in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. Vellan Global handles global sourcing of castings and machined parts for companies across the globe. We work with top foundries and machine shops in Asia and handle all legal, logistical and communication overheads. In short, we buy and sell castings, machined and finished to the specs of the customer making them competitive on a global scale.
A: While big corporations can establish their own manufacturing facilities in LCC (Low Cost Countries), it is not a viable alternative for small and medium scale businesses. The immediate option would be to partner with a single LCC foundry or a machine shop. This may not provide you with the complete benefit of LCC manufacturing in terms of capacity and quantity and introduces logistical and communication nightmares making it prohibitive. Vellan Global can be your Indian partner with global roots. Vellan Global perfectly fills these voids, with our long and trusted vendor network in India and our experienced experts in this field. We provide global manufacturing, locally.
A: Vellan Global takes your designs, finds a suitable manufacturer, usually more than one depending upon the process steps, handles all the local communication, legal and tariff overheads, and finds right carrier to get the parts to your factory floor. We open the world for you to choose and manufacture your part. Typically you can see 20% to 50% savings. More value added, labor intensive parts will provide more savings.
A: While cost is the primary benefit of outsourcing, there are number of unique advantages in manufacturing outsourcing. In an increasingly globalized world, if you do not find an efficient solution, your competitor will. By moving the more commoditized manufacturing end of your business to us, Vellan Global lets you dedicate your resources to additional value creation, increasing the market penetration and strengthening you against competition. Furthermore we may be able to find vendors with additional products to complete your existing product line.
A: With a diversified network of foundries, we can provide any materials and alloys. Our range of products includes but is not limited to : gray iron, ductile iron, stainless steel, zinc, brass, bronze, aluminum. We also can take your castings with exotic materials like titanium and machine it in LCC. In addition we offer anodizing, painting, plating, powder coating, and any special type of finishes.
A: All of our foundries and machine shops are prescreened and pre-selected. Most of them cater to Fortune 500 companies. We collaborate with our customers in establishing the process for quality assurance. We establish a minimum QC process with inputs from you and adhere to it at every step of the process. Any additional reports and inspections can be done at your request. We provide full traceability of materials. We will guarantee the parts to meet or exceed your drawing standards.
A: No, we do not have a minimum quantity requirement. Please note with really low volume orders, the shipping, handling and other overheads will offer little savings incentive.
A: The response time will depend on the complexity of the part. The average quote time is anywhere between 2 and 10 days. The initial quote will only have approximate shipping and tariff. The final quote, after approval of samples, finalized volume and schedule, will have FOB prices for your requested destination. This will let you shop around for better logistical providers than ours and drive more cost savings.
A: While Vellan Global does not dictate what you should buy, we always recommend purchasing finished parts, not just raw castings. Any casting can have porosity, defects unearthed during machining. It is best to let the foundry finish the parts to avoid any difficulties later. More the value you add in LCC, the more you save.
