The Great Central Turf Advantage — Full supply chain management from China to your door.
Great Central Turf (GCT) was formed to allow smaller companies with lower volume requirements to enter the world of domestic sourcing with little or no effort. Originally focusing on Outdoor Power Equipment companies, we found our services expanding to a larger and more diverse market. GCT now supplies components to many industries in volumes ranging from a few hundred pieces to many thousands of parts.
GCT sources all of our client's components and assemblies from China. We supply a few products complete; no products are sold under the Great Central Turf or GCT name.
Our mission is to find the highest quality, lowest cost Chinese manufacturer for each component we source. GCT has full time employees in China who fully understand the market and the manufacture's abilities. When searching for manufacturing partners we balance the quality requirements to best fit each application, customer need and customer cost range.
GCT maintains a domestic warehouse in Naperville, Illinois where parts are stocked and shipped on demand - at customer's request. The release quantities and dates can be flexible since GCT maintains safety stock and works to longer range forecasts. Our customers are not invoiced until stock is shipped from this warehouse.
Lastly GCT manages all aspects of the business to make a seamless transition from the manufacturer to our customer. Using this approach, our domestic partner can focus on growing their end of the business without having to manage a foreign supply chain.
