Over the years, APR has developed a strong global supply management and sourcing infrastructure. In July 2010, we opened an office in Shanghai, China to serve as an operations hub for sourcing, sales, and quality management activities in Asia, giving us unprecedented flexibility in responding to customer needs.

We work closely with our suppliers to maintain a stringent and consistent quality program and to drive continuous improvement at the process level. The personal relationships we’ve established in China have forged a strong network of reliable suppliers who know our standards and are held accountable to them through on-site audits and performance evaluations.

Original equipment manufacturers face increasing pressure to remain flexible and react quickly in today’s fast-changing global economic landscape. We partner with our customers to stay on top of global sourcing trends and leverage research to maintain a competitive supply chain strategy. With on-the-ground presence in Asia, we are now able to do this more effectively than ever.
