In order to achieve its business goals, Echelon maintains simple principles that have served the company well to date.

I. Quality: We purchase directly from reputable manufacturers who supply the materials we source, or we supply directly from production lines that have been tried, tested and certified by us.

II. Quality Assurance: We do not rely just on reputation. We inspect and have products tested by reputable local laboratories and always undertake third-party inspections and certifications prior to purchase.

III. Quantity: We always inspect the capacity of manufacturing plants and production lines to ensure that they can continue to meet the heavy demands required by our customers.

IV. Price: We do not deal with middlemen and always purchase directly from manufacturers or supply directly from production lines.

V. Finance: Wherever necessary, in order to facilitate a particular trade, we carry out all required checks on our clients and project finance deals. We only take on projects which we can see through from end to end and do not over expose ourselves.

VI. Localisations: When entering markets we always ensure that we employ staff or engage with business partners who can speak the local language and understand local cultural and business issues.

VII. International Experience: Our team of experts has many years of experience and is capable of offering your business premium advice in any circumstance.
