Sail Shade World

Sail Shade World Pty Ltd (Australia), in the USA we are SailShadeWorld inc. & in the UK Sail Shade World Ltd was founded in 2006 as a joint venture between a business with Internet and international trade experience and a company from Adelaide South Australia who had been manufacturing shade sails for 40 years. In the beginning we started with a, very easy to use, online quotation system that would provide an accurate quote for a shade sail within 2 seconds of the data being entered. Very soon we found that we were getting a lot of business from Europe and the USA which was good for us but it also created potential problems. Two factors worked against us, labour costs is Australia are among the highest in the world and secondly Australia is about the farthest point on the globe from the markets that were opening up for us. Coincidently with this, Gale Pacific - GAP(ASX), our shade cloth manufacturer had relocated their manufacturing to Ningbo in China so we thought about also making the same move and eventually made contact with Newgrand Necktie & Garment Co,Ltd (NG) based near Ningbo in Shengzhou. NG were prepared to invest in the space with the machinery needed to manufacture shade sails for SSW. Once the manufacturing space had been created and the many sewing machines installed we sent two shade sail makers from Australia to China to train NG in the art of making superior quality shade sails. Being close to our primary supplier was clearly advantageous since the shade cloth was, obviously, more favourably priced than the same item shipped kilometres. The other factor in being so close to the primary supply source is that inventory requirements with the associated costs associated are lowered and we can operate production on a JIT basis.
