Manufacturing

The group's plant in Dongguan and warehouse in Sydney, and what is run from each.

The plant in Dongguan

Dongguan Grand Harvest Gifts Co Ltd is part of this group. The people who tool the mould, run the sample and check the cartons are employed by the company.

Quality control staff work on the same floor as production and hold the authority to stop a run before it ships, which is a different arrangement from an inspection booked in from outside.

Finished stock for the Australian market is held in the Sydney warehouse, so a local reorder is picked from stock instead of being produced again.

Inside the group

Tooling and sampling

Moulds are tooled and samples run on the group's own line, and scheduling them is an internal decision.

Short runs

Short runs are a scheduling decision, because the line is ours to book. A zoo can carry the seven animals in its collection.

Quality control

Staff employed by the company work on the production floor and hold the authority to stop a run.

Ethical auditing

Sedex membership and SMETA auditing across labour, health and safety, environment and business ethics.

Decoration

DTF transfer, sublimation, embroidery, screen print and glow-in-the-dark, all handled inside the group.

Sydney warehousing

Australian stock is held locally and picked for reorder.
