Abstract
Rob Law is the founder and director of Trunki, the company behind the much-loved children's wheeled travel case. The Trunki brand produces innovative products for the mass market. Off-shoring used to be a buzzword for British industry - with company after company shifting its production to lower cost countries. However, many businesses are now re-locating their production back to the UK, in a process known as re-shoring. Rob will discuss the use of a global manufacturing base and why he chose to bring the manufacturing of Trunki back to the UK. Rob will also take a look at customisation of the products and how using the extended supply chain can present issues and opportunities for manufacturing and new product introduction... more From the IET Somerset and West Wiltshire Community combined with the IET Manufacturing Network. http://mycommunity.theiet.org/communities/home/185 http://mycommunity.theiet.org/communities/home/59
