Global sourcing
Three regional desks work the same request in parallel, so a part that is allocated in one market is still being chased in another.
Supporting the White Goods Supply Chain
White goods manufacturing combines high-volume production with tight cost targets and long product service obligations. Component shortages can disrupt production lines, while lifecycle changes can affect products that must remain supportable for years.

Volume production with no room in the bill of materials
Tradius supports appliance manufacturers, OEMs and EMS providers with global sourcing solutions designed to maintain production continuity, control component costs and support long product lifecycles.
Requests are worked across the Americas, EMEA and APAC in parallel, and every source is qualified before anything is bought on your behalf.

What puts an appliance line at risk
Each of these is a reason a request reaches our desk. The route out is different for each.
Component shortages
Allocation on a single part number is enough to hold up an entire build.
Cost & margin pressure
Every cent on the bill of materials is visible at volume.
End-of-life components
The product is still being built long after the component left the catalogue.
Capacity constraints
Wafer and packaging capacity moves on a different clock than programme planning.
Production schedule changes
Volumes shift, and the bill of materials has to follow within the same week.
Global logistics disruptions
A component that exists but cannot move is, on the floor, still a shortage.
Sourcing inside a cost-driven programme
Regulatory knowledge
We understand the importance of quality, traceability and component consistency within high-volume appliance supply chains.
Our sourcing approach supports customers where dependable performance, cost control and long-term component availability are critical.
Lead-time challenges
High-volume appliance production can be exposed to allocation and long lead times, particularly for controllers, power electronics and other components shared across multiple industries.
Our global sourcing network helps identify verified alternative supply sources when traditional channels cannot meet production schedules, cost targets or long-term service requirements.

How we take risk out of the line
Verified supplier identification
Alternative sources are qualified and their documentation checked before anything is bought on your behalf.
Obsolescence & lifecycle support
Obsolete, end-of-life and last-time-buy components located worldwide, with traceability documented before purchase.
Cost optimization
Consolidation, volume leverage and approved alternatives, weighed against what the programme is allowed to change.
Supply chain risk management
Suppliers are qualified, paperwork verified and risk assessed before purchase.
Inventory solutions
Buffer stock and scheduled call-offs built around your line, so a change in volume does not become a shortage.
