Camden Electronics Launches “Glocal” Supply Chain With New China Hub Enterprise
 Camden Electronics, the UK’s leading supplier of PCB terminal blocks, has launched a new operating company in China to provide a local presence for customers manufacturing in the Far East. Camden Electronics (Shenzhen) is located in the Free Trade Zone (FTZ) at Fu Tian, Shenzhen and will stock a wide range of Camden products to service the company=s growing customer base in China, the Far East and Australasia.
Nicola Kay, Camden Electronics’ owner, commented, “This is a very exciting development for Camden as it establishes our presence very firmly in the global centre for manufacturing and enables us to provide a high level of local service to our many customers in the region. We will also be able to enhance services for our long-established suppliers in the region.”
Kay added, “Camden Electronics (Shenzhen) represents a logical extension to our existing activities in China and the Far East. We have been assembling some of our leading products in China for more than two decades, many of which have been shipped to St. Albans and then back to customers in the region. Having our own wholly-owned trading company in Fu Tian will enable products for those customers to be shipped direct with a huge reduction in lead times, not to mention a saving in transportation costs.”
Kay continued, “We have coined the term ‘Glocal’ to describe what we are doing here – able to service the global market locally. Camden has always believed in having a local presence to better serve worldwide markets – our lengthy roster of international distributors is testament to that – and the Shenzhen facility takes our philosophy one stage further. Designers worldwide who use Camden products that are subsequently manufactured in the Far East will also benefit from being able to source our components close to their production plants.”
“Besides improving service to our existing customer base in the region and helping to ensure customer retention, Camden Electronics (Shenzhen) will also provide us with many new opportunities to sell in the locality. We will also benefit from improved standing with our suppliers in China and will have opportunities to source more competitively with improved local knowledge,” added Kay.
Kay concluded, “Camden Electronics (Shenzhen) represents a genuine and intensive investment in the Far Eastern region that will benefit our many customers who manufacture in China and other adjacent countries as well as enhancing our presence in the area.”
Camden Electronics (Shenzhen) is wholly-owned by Camden Electronics Ltd.
