Ital Techno Trading is an International Purchasing Office (IPO) within the Premek Group specialised in purchasing operations for mechanical components, plastic components and moulds as well as assembly operations. ITT acts as a filter between the customer demand and the big offer of potential suppliers, concentrated in low cost countries, selecting those really fitting the customer requirements. (see flow chart below) An initial analysis of the customer inquiry is made in order to understand to which kind of supplier send the RFQ. A further market research is performed in order to select the right supplier. ITT is relying already on a tested group of suppliers of different production typologies. Upon arrival, the best quotation in terms of quality, service and price is reverted to the customer for evaluation. If the customer issues an order, ITT can also grant quality inspection during production and before the delivery.
