We provide dedicated procurement and supply chain services exclusively for North American automotive Tier 2 suppliers (50-200 employees). Reduce costs, eliminate risk, and secure your production line.
Tier2 Sourcing was founded by engineers and supply chain veterans who have lived both sides of the automotive desk. We’ve worked inside Tier 1 giants and we’ve consulted for struggling Tier 2 job shops. We know the pressure of a line-down situation and the frustration of chasing suppliers for PPAP documents.
Who We Work With
We support U.S.-based manufacturers that are growing, cost-conscious, and looking to build a more reliable supply chain.
Typically, our clients:
-Have 50–200 employees
-Operate in manufacturing, automation, or equipment industries
-Are expanding or optimizing their supplier base
-Do not have a dedicated team in China
-Need better visibility and control over overseas sourcing
Why This Matters
If you don’t have people on the ground in China, even small issues — delays, miscommunication, quality problems — can quickly become expensive.
That’s where we come in.
