FAQ

If the idea concerns the production of a component for an agricultural, garden & park or civil engineering machine or another application, then we are of course ready to translate your ideas into a concrete design together with you. We do this by deploying our own engineers in China, or - where necessary - by working together with other engineers from specialized, reliable partners.

No, AWON does not replicate products that are subject to third-party intellectual property rights, nor will we comply with any such request. As an applicant, you are responsible for checking this carefully before asking us to produce a product for you. However, if you are the full owner of a product that is protected by intellectual property rights, the choice is, of course, yours as the customer to outsource its production to us.

If you would appreciate that, absolutely! We can support you in many areas, and if there are areas where we cannot or are less capable, we will be honest about that upfront. AWON has a professional team of twelve experienced engineers in China who are happy to assist you with the (cost) optimization of your product design.

Depending on the duration, scope, and nature of the collaboration between your company and AWON, this engineering capacity will be made available to you either free of charge or at competitive rates.

Yes and no. If you want to get something for next to nothing, you can certainly find suppliers in China for that, but then you can't set high demands on quality. This image of producing inferior goods unfairly overshadows what is also available: companies that indeed deliver good and high-quality products, still at a competitive price. AWON belongs to this latter category. We have a team of highly committed colleagues in both the Netherlands and China who, by European standards, are focused on quality every day and proactively think along with you as a customer.

To perform their work professionally, they naturally have access to all the necessary tools to measure or test the quality of the produced items, from a colorimeter to advanced 3D measuring equipment, and to report on this in writing.

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.

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.

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.

This depends largely on the type of prototype. There are prototypes that do not involve any additional costs, other than the costs of the product itself, but there are also prototypes for which our engineers need to be deployed, molds need to be made, et cetera, which means that additional costs are incurred in the run-up to the final production. These costs are discussed with you in advance in all openness, on the basis of which an available, mutually approved project budget is established, so that you are not confronted with unexpected additional costs afterwards.

These final project costs can be charged in one go or in installments, or divided pro rata over a guaranteed purchase of the final product. We are also happy to consider other options that you may desire. In short, there are many possibilities, so please feel free to contact us to discuss the various options; we are happy to help you!
