China Plus One
Retain the strengths of an established China supply base while qualifying a second region for capacity, resilience or tariff advantage.
Diversify with purpose
Find the right alternative—not simply another supplier.
We compare regions, qualify new capabilities and manage the transition so diversification strengthens resilience without sacrificing quality or cost control.
A better comparison
Choose markets on total business impact.
A lower quotation can become an expensive decision once tariffs, tooling, lead times, freight, minimum orders and quality risk are included. Meridian builds a complete sourcing comparison before you commit.
