In manufacturing, time is money – and a supply disruption can cost more than your entire annual marketing budget. That’s why choosing a local supplier is not only convenient, but also a form of insurance that protects your company from unexpected losses. In an era of uncertain supply chains, rising transportation costs, and global turmoil, choosing a proven partner from your region is a strategic decision that quickly pays for itself.

Local supplier – less risk, more predictability

By choosing a local partner, you can be sure that your components will arrive on time. No customs clearance, shorter transport distances, and direct contact with the manufacturer minimize the risk of delays. What’s more, a local supplier can respond more quickly to sudden changes in orders – increased volume, specification adjustments, or emergency production of missing parts.

At Prasmet, our location close to transport hubs and our large machine park guarantee that even with large orders of several thousand items, production and shipping run smoothly. This allows you to avoid production line paralysis due to a small component stuck in a container on the other side of the world.

Supplier selection criteria – what to look for?

When selecting a supplier, it is worth looking beyond the unit price of the item. Supplier selection criteria should include, among others:

• Comprehensive services – does the supplier carry out the entire process on site: from design, through tooling, to electroplating and final cleaning of parts? Prasmet offers all technological processes in one plant, eliminating the costs and risks associated with distributing orders between different companies.
• Own tool shop – a guarantee of quick repairs and modifications without waiting weeks for subcontractors.
• Quality documentation included in the price – e.g., PPAP, without which in many industries it is not possible to introduce an element into production.
• Stability of supply – the ability to fulfill orders even in the event of a failure or sudden increase in demand.

These are the elements that determine whether, in a crisis situation, your supplier will act as a reliable policy or rather as another problem to be solved.

Time and cost savings through local cooperation

Working with a local supplier means real savings – not only in transport, but also throughout the entire production process. Not having to coordinate several subcontractors shortens project implementation time and minimizes the risk of errors. At Prasmet, all processes – from punching and turning to assembly – take place in one place, which simplifies logistics and allows us to respond more quickly to customer needs. In addition, the storage of finished parts enables deliveries to be made within 72 hours throughout Poland. This solution cannot be overestimated in situations where every hour of downtime generates losses.

Reliability that builds advantage

A reliable supplier is one that not only delivers the product, but also actively supports your business. With over 20 years of experience and cooperation with global automotive and electronics brands, Prasmet provides not only parts, but also technological consulting. This allows you to avoid costly design mistakes and choose the optimal manufacturing technology. What’s more, a local supplier who knows the realities of your market is able to implement changes faster and adapt to the specific requirements of the industry, whether in terms of quality standards or delivery times.

A secure future for your production

Choosing a local supplier is an investment in stability, flexibility, and process security. It is a partner who, in a crisis situation, will be able to deliver the product on time, keeping your production running. By working with Prasmet, you gain an advantage in the form of comprehensive service, modern technological facilities, and proven procedures ensuring continuity of supply.

In a world where interrupted supply chains can paralyze entire sectors, such cooperation is the best insurance policy you can get.
