Especially when the material is sourced from one of Australia\u2019s leading steel plate suppliers, Bisalloy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe&#8217;ve designed a lot of our attachments, taken on the feedback from clientele over the years, and are always looking at how we can add value to a product\u2026 Our biggest advantage is we&#8217;re in partnership with \u2018Bisalloy\u2019 good, true Australian steel.\u201d James told Machines4U.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"BRAND FOCUS: Roo Attachments\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/06x75RuhL7A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advantages of Chinese Manufacturing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the fact Roo Attachments oversee all their overseas manufacturing means stringent quality control is in place. James told Machines4U the advantages of Chinese manufacturing and how they are passed onto hard-working Aussie customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGiven that we are manufactured in China, we can look at the labour content. And because it&#8217;s cheaper, it means we can use a bit more material, and make things a bit heavier and stronger without raising our market price,\u201d said James.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advantages include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cheaper to buy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cost savings are invested into making the product better<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because the product is better, it lasts longer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allows Roo Attachments to sell direct to customers<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always Keeping Customers In Mind<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">James has built his business to always deal direct with his customers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe&#8217;re totally vertically integrated, we said no more middle man\u2014let&#8217;s just go direct to the end user. So we manufacture direct to the end user and that&#8217;s our plan to market. That means we have to carry a lot of stock in Australia which is fine, and if anything has to be custom built, generally 4-8 week lead time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;ve found customers are willing to wait if they can have a significant saving. Once they have our product, they know our quality is good and they know our brand, so they are happy to wait.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We asked James where he believes the future of attachment manufacturing is going.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think the future of innovation is making things lighter and stronger. So changing the materials, going from more of a sub-standard cheaper material that&#8217;s heavier that they make thicker so it can last, to lightening the product right back but then using a better-grade material, so that you get the same life but a lot lighter attachment, so that it saves you money on fuel, swing time and wear and tear on the machine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do you think about Chinese-manufactured earthmoving equipment?
