IRG offers foreign based companies a U.S. based purchasing office in order to procure equipment, materials, and products under more cost effective terms.

IRG’s focus for the procurement of materials and equipment has been the electrical industry.  Our experience and market knowledge of the U.S. electrical and industrial manufacturing industries allows us to obtain competitive quotations for specified materials and equipment. 

An added advantage of working with IRG is that we can offer the type of credit terms and financing package that no other company will offer. 

Process

1. Our customers provide information about the product, material, or equipment they require. 
2. We will ask a number of application questions in order to better understand the specifications of the product. By understanding the application of the product, IRG will be able to offer alternatives that may lower costs or speed delivery. 
3. IRG will then prepare a quotation based on the information provided by the customer. Clearly, IRG will not be able to offer quotations on every possible product, but we will always offer suggestions on the best possible opportunities for obtaining the required item. 
4. If requested by the customer, IRG may offer credit terms, financing terms, and inventory control / logistical services.

Example 

A mid-sized Mexican manufacturing company has utilized IRG as its U.S. purchasing office for over five years. IRG negotiates as a U.S. company paying in dollars. The fact that the transaction is domestic affords IRG an advantage of a few percent in almost every case. We work on this margin in procuring all of the customer’s imported raw material, finished product, and equipment needs. 

IRG maintains an inventory of commonly required materials reducing shipment lead-times for the most critical items.  In addition, payment terms of 120 days have been negotiated at a rate of 1% per month.  Thus, this customer receives the material required at the most competitive possible price with financing terms more favorable than could be obtained in Mexico.   Lastly, the inventory and logistical management function performed by IRG guarantees material availability.
