Global Sourcing
Identification, qualification and selection of manufacturing partners across Asia and the Americas. Structured evaluation from market mapping through to a recommendation.
Most sourcing decisions are made on partial information. Raffetto Research works across global sourcing, trade and tariff strategy, supplier assessment and product development to close those gaps, and delivers the analysis in writing.
The difference between a good sourcing decision and an expensive one is rarely price. It is what was known at the time.
Practice Areas
Identification, qualification and selection of manufacturing partners across Asia and the Americas. Structured evaluation from market mapping through to a recommendation.
Duty exposure, classification and landed cost across candidate origins. What a product will actually cost to land, established before the decision rather than after the invoice.
Capability, certification and financial standing, independently verified. You know who you are dealing with before you are dependent on them.
Design for manufacturability, specification, tooling strategy and certification pathways. The engineering questions answered before tooling is cut.
How We Work
We hold no commercial relationship with the manufacturers we evaluate and receive no commission, rebate or referral fee. Our judgement is the product.
Certifications are confirmed with the issuing body. Financial standing is checked against registry records. References are called, not collected.
Every engagement produces a written deliverable with a clear recommendation. Scope, effort and decision points are agreed before work begins.
Enquiries
Initial conversations are without charge. If the work is a fit, you receive a written scope and a fixed quote before anything begins.
