This is how we make a success of your project
You provide a design
We receive your design idea or a detailed technical design for the parts you want to have produced by AWON. We discuss this design with you and perform an initial overall check.
Review by the factory, analysis of the specifications
The design is extensively reviewed by our own engineers in China. All the specifications are carefully validated so that everything is clear and we can start preparing a quotation.
Quotation
Based on the approved design and specifications provided, we prepare a comprehensive, no-obligation quotation for you. After your approval, we start prototyping.
Prototyping
We want to make sure you are satisfied with the items we produce for you. So we arrange one or more prototypes as a precursor to the pilot production stage. If necessary, we make a production mould in our in-house tooling shop.
Product review and optimisation
Together we review all aspects of the prototype we have produced for you. If necessary, we make adjustments and optimise the design further in preparation for the pilot production stage.
Pilot production
After any adjustments or optimisation changes have been made, the pilot productions stage starts. A small batch is produced initially. After your approval, the final (series) production run can begin.
Series production
Now that we are completely sure that the design, mould and finished product meet the specifications, we schedule and start series production.
Transport, storage and distribution
We make agreements on how your products will be transported to Europe, warehoused and distributed. We store your products in our warehouse in Waalwijk or elsewhere in Europe, and deliver them flexibly when you require.
FAQs
Am I at risk of child labor or poor working conditions for employees in the production of my parts?
We take good care of our employees not only in the Netherlands but also in China. They are the pride of our company and ultimately play a major role in determining the quality of our output. This is further confirmed by the fact that employee turnover is exceptionally low. All of our employees are adults, so you will not find any child labor with us.
Our good reputation as an employer ensures that we always have enough interested candidates when we seek to expand, which allows us to select the right man or woman for the vacant position.
In any case, if you become or are planning to become one of our customers, you are always more than welcome to come and see this for yourself as proof.
Is the factory in China truly Dutch-owned, or is it a strategic partnership?
The production site in China is 100% Dutch-owned and is also managed from the Netherlands. The company is locally led by a Chinese director who graduated in the Netherlands and was subsequently trained by AWON Netherlands itself.
Why does AWON produce in China?
First of all, all the necessary resources are abundantly available on-site: sufficient skilled employees, the right materials, modern machines and tools, qualified suppliers, and a good work ethic, which together ensure that we perform well and, if desired, are even capable of exceptional achievements for you.
Secondly, because for European companies, it is often a financially attractive option to outsource their design process, production, assembly, and/or service to AWON, simply because many costs are lower in China. In addition, AWON also has a corporate structure that ensures optimal and completely legal use is made of international financial legislation.
