Sourcing mechanical subcontracting in Luxembourg
Few workshops on site, but four basins within two hours.
Luxembourg has few mechanical subcontracting workshops relative to its industrial needs. For a Luxembourg buyer, sourcing is therefore structurally cross-border — and that is rather good news: Saarland, Lorraine, Wallonia and Flanders are all within two hours, with markedly different price levels and specialities.
The difficulty is linguistic more than technical. A buyer canvassing only in French ignores Saarland and Flanders; one canvassing only in German ignores Wallonia and Lorraine. Any foreign crew working on Luxembourg soil also requires a prior posting declaration — settled before the order, not at delivery.

Services
What we take off your hands
Supplier sourcing & identification
You describe the need, we come back with 3 to 5 qualified, capable and available suppliers — not a 200-name directory.
RFQ & tender management
We write the RFQ, run it across the panel, chase the answers, and hand you a comparison grid where the bids are finally comparable.
Supplier audit & qualification
Documentary, financial and on-site verification before you commit. A failing supplier always costs more than the audit that would have ruled them out.
Negotiation & contracting
Negotiation is won before the meeting: a decomposed cost structure, credible alternatives, and a contract that holds when things go wrong.
Quality control & production follow-up
First article approved, in-line checks during the run, pre-shipment inspection. Defects get handled at the supplier, not on your dock.
Logistics, import & customs
Incoterm selection, freight organisation, customs paperwork and EU VAT handling. The landed price, not the ex-works price.
