About Lowcross
Lowcross has been operating out of China since 1996 and has worked on various sourcing projects for manufacturing companies, helping smooth the transition of supply from China, with the least risk and within the shortest timescales whilst meeting cost saving targets.
Lowcross has its own wood manufacturing factory and also a JV manufacturing and electrical assembly company near to the Shanghai with more developments in the pipe line. The Company is based in Ningbo, the main industrial zone of China with the 4th largest deep sea port in Asia and has extensive knowledge of component material suppliers.
It has a thorough knowledge of the Chinese political, economic and business environment and has all the key contacts to make things happen and reduce the risk of dealing with a country far away and different culture to the UK.
Mark Vaughan is the MD and has developed a good technical engineering project team around him in the last few years to advise on quality issues/ conformance, technical engineering, tooling, process and materials issues that can be a huge risk to sourcing projects from China or indeed any engineering project if that resource is not in place.
One big advantage that Mark offers is as a English guy working and controlling in China and regularly travels back and forwards to Europe to visit his customers, easy to communicate and discuss new products, issues and also the break in the chain will help protect your property rights.
