As global trade tensions and rising tariffs continue to impact manufacturing and procurement decisions, companies are seeking alternative sourcing strategies to protect margins and ensure continuity. EDS International, a leading global sourcing and supply chain management firm with over 40 years of experience, is helping businesses across North America and Europe strategically diversify their supply chains beyond traditional sourcing regions.
The impact of tariffs, geopolitical risk, and evolving trade policies has made sole reliance on suppliers in regions like China increasingly risky. EDS International offers end-to-end supply chain diversification solutions—from supplier scouting and factory vetting to quality control and logistics coordination. With a robust network of vetted suppliers across India, Vietnam, Thailand, Latin America, and More, EDS helps companies reduce costs, mitigate risks, and improve resilience.

As a trusted sourcing partner with teams on the ground, we help businesses transition to alternative, tariff-friendly markets—without compromising on quality, timelines, or cost-efficiency.”
Strategically located offices in India, Vietnam, Thailand, Mainland China, Taiwan, Mexico, Colombia, and the U.S. give EDS the ability to offer local expertise with global reach.
