Success story

Trade International Group and The Xerox Corporation

Trade International Group began its now nearly 20-year business partnership with The Xerox Corporation in 2005.

Trade began consulting with Xerox on its contract with the County of San Diego, under which Xerox supplied all the county’s printing needs. The consulting work covered estimating, production, and quality control systems. As part of the agreement, Trade was also asked to build a network of vendors that could supply printed materials Xerox could not produce on its own digital equipment.

The outside vendor services required ranged from forms, offset and web printing, foil stamping, die cutting, and bindery to variable data, labels, tapes, large format printing, and many more. To help conform with Xerox and county government wanting to use small businesses, Trade International Group worked to find vendors that fit this criterion, including many Small Business Enterprises, Woman-Owned Enterprises, and Disabled Veteran-Owned Enterprises.

Success story

Trade International Group and National University / Sanford Harmony

In August 2015, Trade International Group was asked to review and consult with National University in San Diego. The university had a separate division dedicated to Sanford Harmony, which was in the early stages of developing an educational program teaching children from PreK through 6th grade tolerance for their peers and how to interact with bullies.

Trade was asked to produce a wide variety of products that would need to fit into a space-saving carry case. To accomplish this, Trade re-engineered the size of all the items, including storybooks, teacher manuals, card decks, game components, and even a plush character, to fit uniformly within a single kit.

With the company’s knowledge of international procurement, the customer was able to source components at a lower cost from overseas suppliers. Through this redesign, Trade was able to reduce production costs by 65% and save the customer thousands of dollars in shipping costs.
