Soup to Nuts. Let us start with scheduling. Once you select Provan to handle your global production and packaging needs, we’re on the job ­ one hundred percent. We’ll partner with both you and the production resource to ensure a smooth transition of everything from mechanical drawings, engineering samples and tooling needs to finished products, order management and the seamless movement of information. Your primary source of contact is your representative in the United States.

We’re in it for the long haul. At Provan, we never simply pass off an order and stand by on the sidelines. We continue to monitor your project from beginning to end, through every step of the process. That means we perform continual spot-check inspections, working to ensure that consistently high quality standards are maintained. As an extra safeguard, we can provide you with third-party quality control specialists to double-check and verify your own production guidelines.

Paperwork becomes a snap. Our in-depth understanding of shipping and import/export logistics makes it easy for us to prepare and coordinate all shipping, billing and customs paperwork for you.

We do the legwork. So you get a leg up.

Our extensive experience in low-cost, high quality manufacturing locations like China, Taiwan and other Pacific Rim nations means that we can pinpoint and recommend your best options with minimal time. We’ve thoroughly vetted every manufacturer we work with, so when we make a recommendation, we’re confident that you’ll be getting exactly what you expect ­ and then some ­ for exactly what you expect to pay.

And to remain a part of our network, each of our resources must continually prove themselves. If we begin to notice slippages, quality control problems, any sacrifice of quality or production excellence, we revise and adjust our suite of resources accordingly. This ensures that each of our supplier relationships remains healthy and productive ­ and of great immediate benefit to you.
