Custom components are manufactured in their joint venture manufacturing facilities in China, to the bespoke specification of clients' designs. “Goudsmit has a number of manufacturing facilities located across the globe which allow us to service our customers no matter where they are located. Many customers are keen to explore the possibilities of low‐cost options available in Asia, however without a presence there it can often be a costly and somewhat dauting experience.
