It is incomplete to talk about price alone, which is a complex question with many factors. Because of the following three reasons, our price keeps a 30%-50% price advantage over our counterparts in Western countries. First, although labor cost has increased substantially year by year, it is still lower than that in Western countries. Secondly, we have experienced and highly qualified technical and management teams. Thirdly, we have increased productivity due to years of technological progress and process improvement. Of course, there are some special cases, such as SLA prototype, because the cost of raw materials and transportation is higher than that of Western countries, even considering the lower labor costs, they do not have much price advantage in China.
According to our experience, we have strong price advantages in vacuum casting and CNC machining processing of prototypes, rapid tooling, aluminum and zinc casting products. For example, the price of our rapid plastic injection molds and casting dies using pre-hardened steel is always 50% of the European and American market price. This price advantage is also reflected in labor-intensive and time-consuming prototypes manufacturing and die-casting production.
Our price will be higher than that of some Chinese suppliers. It shows the investment of our advanced equipment, professional training and technical team. It also reflects our reliable quality, timely delivery and reliable service. We believe that this can also be understood and supported by our customers.
