When we witnessed the change in global business practices, we were quick to take action. After several trips to India, Barron Industries formed strategic alliances with two high-quality overseas companies. This investment resulted in a complementary work force that produces expanded capabilities and the aptitude to competitively serve the global market.
Why India instead of China? Many factors were evaluated as part of our selection process. We chose India as our Low Cost Country partner because it was important to find global partners that think and operate the way we do at Barron Industries. Key evaluation factors included:
