Increasing competition is forcing European manufacturers to source in low-cost countries. CBI has been working in this sector for many years. If you are an European buyer looking for an offshore manufacturer offering an even balance between low costs and high quality, efficient processes and good communication, we might have the right supplier for you. Our consultants have visited the companies and have inside information, gained on location. If required they can introduce your company to (potential) suppliers and monitor the progress.This page offers you shortcuts to all information available on the CBI website and database. This includes a market survey covering the most important markets for this industry; special market briefs on pencils and writing books and pads; and full information about EU legislation and market guidelines.
