success story

Compakto

We helped Compakto, a global woodworking machinery manufacturer, overcome faulty shipments and inconsistent suppliers by sourcing high-quality bearing units from verified Chinese manufacturers. With inspections, vetting, and freight logistics covered, we rebuilt confidence in their supply chain.

Precision Engineering Meets Sourcing Challenges

Compakto, based in Nelson, NZ, designs and builds high-performance machinery for the global woodworking industry. Despite their experience with importing, they recently faced challenges with inconsistent quality, unreliable delivery times, and supplier communication breakdowns.

A Critical Component

The issue came to a head when faulty bearing units began threatening the performance of their machines. With reliability at the core of their offering, Compakto knew they needed a better solution — and fast.

Epic Enters the Scene

We began by sourcing and vetting top-tier bearing suppliers. After receiving physical samples and completing comprehensive inspections, Compakto approved a supplier that met their high standards. We managed the shipment from factory to Nelson, ensuring pre-shipment inspections and the best LCL rates.

“Epic understood what we needed and delivered. We now have a reliable supplier and a clearer, more manageable import process.” — Pat, Compakto

The Outcome

The shipment landed in December — on time, intact, and to spec. More importantly, it restored confidence in Compakto’s supply chain. They're now producing their woodworking machinery without delays or defects, thanks to precision sourcing from Epic.
