Frequently Asked Questions

At Current, building resilience is a combination of diversifying supplier locations, lowering costs to improve operating margins, and choosing sustainable materials that benefit people, the planet, and profitability long term. 

Current streamlines supply chains by managing everything in house: in-person factory negotiations and quality control, product compliance and international logistics, and domestic distribution with some of the best parcel shipping rates in the US. 

Most of our manufacturers are located in China and Vietnam, within a few hours of our offices.  Our fastest growing regions for new suppliers are Vietnam, Turkey, India, Thailand, Indonesia, and Mexico.  Due to rising labor costs, ongoing US tariffs, volatile shipping prices, and geopolitical sensitivities, more and more of our top Chinese manufacturers are also expanding operations into these countries. 
While it depends on the product, our typical minimum order quantity is $10,000 USD, or one full 20′ shipping container, about 28 cubic meters.  Contact us for a custom quote for your specific product. 

While every client’s needs are unique, the general process follows these steps: 

  1. Project Discovery & Consultation
  2. Quotations & Sample Runs
  3. Mass Production, Quality Control, & Shipping
  4. Delivery & Market Feedback

Our ‘catalog’ is a database of over 400 factories all around the world.  If your product exists, we have someone who can make it.  And if it doesn’t exist, we will custom make it with you! Contact us to learn more about our extensive product and service offering. 

Let’s look at your next sourcing opportunity.

Whether you are reviewing an existing supplier, developing a new product, or looking for a more coordinated purchasing program, tell us what you buy and what you want to improve.

 

Some clients begin with a supplier assessment, quality inspection, or cost comparison; others need support developing a product or managing an existing program. We define the scope around the commercial objective, then build an ongoing sourcing relationship where there is a clear fit.
