Is China + 1 automatically cheaper?
No. Cost depends on the product, specification, volume, logistics, duties, quality and commercial terms. The point is diversification and evidence-based comparison.
CHINA + 1 · TÜRKİYE
China + 1: evaluate Türkiye as a second sourcing route.
China + 1 is a diversification framework, not a promise that one origin is better for every product. TEDA Union turns the framework into a product-specific Turkish manufacturer search and qualification process.
