Strategic positioning for a Chinese factory in the global market
Your key advantage is being at the source of manufacturing. The challenge is overcoming the stigma sometimes associated with "Made in China" meaning low quality. Your strategy must be built on Quality, Communication, and Trust.
Product Strategy: differentiate your quality
Do not compete solely on price. Compete on value.
Tier Your Products:
Economy Line: For price sensitive markets. Be transparent about the specifications and expected lifecycle. Use good quality standard materials (e.g., standard NBR diaphragms).
Premium/High-Performance Line: This is your key to winning serious business. For this line:
Diaphragms: Use imported high-grade elastomers. Explicitly state the brand and specification of the rubber (e.g., "Nitrile 70 Shore A, equivalent to Parker Parbak N7790-70"). Offer a full range of materials: NBR, EPDM, FKM/Viton suit for different temperature and environments.
Offer diaphragm kits: Not only sell diaphragms. Sell complete Service Kits that include the diaphragm, gaskets, O-rings, spring, and even the pilot valve seat if applicable. This makes maintenance easier for the customers.
Do Say: "We offer the best value. Our premium pulse valves use 100% stainless steel internal components and Class H coils, identical to the OEM, but at a fraction of the price. We eliminate the risk often associated with generic replacements."
On Quality: "We understand your concern about quality. That's why we source our primary material from reputable supplier and test every batch. Here is our quality certification and a sample for you to test yourself."
