In this interview, I talk with Adam Wade, Principle at Wade Worldwide Wholesale. He just returned from spending time in China and he shares his views on the current situation. Adam is seeing trends that will benefit small to medium sized businesses working with suppliers and manufacturers in China.

Now more than ever manufacturers in China want to get their facilities to produce at their optimum production levels and the large companies have reduced their orders due to current economic condition. This opens the door for smaller companies to negotiate better rates and fill the holes the left by big business.

Looking at global supply chain can be daunting but there are tools and companies that can help provide a bigger picture overview.
