Mekoprint has many years of experience with sourcing and has had a sourcing and development office in Asia for more than 10 years. The office has found the right producers and handled both supplier dialogue and logistics. It has been a great success, and Mekoprint is now taking the next step by hiring a quality engineer as the first of several new employees. The appointment is the first step in a larger expansion that will strengthen Mekoprint’s local competences within quality, supplier development and technical follow-up close to production. In this way, the Hong Kong office will become an even stronger link between European customers and Asian production partners.

 

At the same time, Mekoprint is moving to larger premises in Hong Kong Science and Technology Park. The new facilities will support the company’s growth and make it easier to work closely with partners in China, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia. With its strengthened presence in Hong Kong, Mekoprint will be better able to bring technical clarification, supplier dialogue and quality follow-up together in one more efficient process.

"It is easy to get a good and fast price, but the question is whether it holds up when you move from start-up to scaling. That is where the real test begins. It is also easy enough to find a supplier, but building long-term relationships requires focus and presence. That is why we are expanding", says Søren Kold, General Manager at Mekoprint Hong Kong.

For Mekoprint’s customers, the expansion means a shorter path between engineering in Europe and follow-up close to Asian production. It creates better opportunities for early technical clarification and more efficient coordination with production partners – both during the development phase and in ongoing production. When Mekoprint’s local team can enter into direct dialogue with partners in the same language and time zone, it becomes easier to clarify questions quickly and keep projects moving forward.

"Our customers should not have to spend unnecessary time coordinating between Europe and Asia. When we have engineering, sourcing and quality resources close to our Asian partners, we can follow up locally, clarify technical questions faster and ensure that customer requirements are correctly transferred into production. This saves time, reduces the risk of delays and strengthens delivery reliability", says Søren Kold.

Closer to production and partners

Mekoprint’s sourcing and development office in Hong Kong acts as a local link between customers, Mekoprint’s European organisation and the Asian production partners. Its location in an innovation and business environment supports Mekoprint’s focus on development and close supplier cooperation. The local presence makes it possible to be closer to both the suppliers and the production environments where the solutions are manufactured.

 

With the addition of a quality engineer, the team becomes even stronger in quality assurance, supplier follow-up and process improvements. This means, among other things, faster implementation of customer requirements and a better opportunity to follow up early if adjustments are needed. The local team has extensive experience from the electronics industry and large global companies.

 

Its competences include sourcing, project management, design engineering, logistics, customer service and quality assurance. In addition to the new quality engineer, the team consists of an Operations and Project Manager, a Customer Service/Logistics Coordinator and a Design & Project Engineer, and Mekoprint is working to strengthen the sourcing and development office further in the coming months.
