/ 01. Who we are

The team you would hire if you could

Based in Sydney, Global Supply Network works as your in house procurement department, without the overhead. We source raw materials and find the right industrial manufacturers around the world, then bring the finished parts home to you. We take on jobs at any stage, from an early idea to a part already in production, as long as the work fits our skill set. You can read more about how a manufacturing sourcing agent works and what we manage for you.

/ Coverage

Sourced globally. Landed in Sydney.

A worldwide web of vetted partners. Sourced anywhere. Landed in Sydney.

Who we work with

GSN is built for Australian manufacturers of roughly 5 to 100 people that need parts or material brought in but have no procurement team or contacts overseas.

Work runs from a one off prototype or a pilot run to repeat production. Machined parts have no minimum order and we have run jobs of one.

Tooling driven processes such as moulding and casting carry minimums because the tool has to be paid for across the run. You can read our common questions for more about how we work.

Suppliers we have visited
and used ourselves

Every supplier on our roster goes through the same vetting before it is recommended to a client. We check the paperwork, whether the factory really runs the process you need, how it behaves commercially, and a sample run. Some suppliers we have also visited in person, and the audits we have published so far are from factories in China, where we walked the lines, checked the quality control and met the people running the machines.

Many of them we have used ourselves, for our own group's projects through Perfetti Engineering and McIver Engineering. If we wouldn't trust them with our production, they don't make our shortlist.

/ 04. Need it built in-house?

Australian manufacturing
through McIver Engineering

Part of the Perfetti Engineering Pty Ltd group. Our sister business McIver Engineering (established 1947) delivers in-house Australian manufacturing capability. One team, end to end. If you need or prefer to build onshore we can do that too, ideal for defence, sensitive IP and laboratory or medical equipment components that are not regulated devices, or for clients who want complete oversight and faster turnaround on critical work.

/ 05. Why us

Manufacturers first.
Brokers second.

01Reason

Manufacturing in our DNA

We come from the factory floor. We know what to ask, what to inspect and what 'good' looks like before signing a P.O.

02Reason

Managed end to end, personally

We only take on projects we can personally build, end to end, through our group. No hand-offs, no finger-pointing.

03Reason

Speed is the product

Our network is pre-vetted. Rapid quotes. Production in motion before competitors finish their RFQ.

04Reason

Multiple capabilities

Sourcing offshore, finishing onshore. Through our sister business McIver Engineering, we offer a fully integrated supply solution.

About Global Supply Network

What is Global Supply Network?
Global Supply Network (GSN) is a Sydney-based strategic procurement firm and the sourcing arm of Perfetti Engineering Pty Ltd. We act as an in-house procurement team for Australian businesses, sourcing raw materials and overseas manufacturing worldwide.
Where is Global Supply Network based?
Global Supply Network is headquartered in Sydney, Australia, with a global network of vetted suppliers and manufacturers.
What does Global Supply Network do?
GSN sources raw materials (metals, engineering plastics, castings, fasteners) and manages overseas manufacturing (CNC machining, sheet metal, injection moulding, casting, 3D printing, assembly). We handle supplier vetting, tooling, samples, QC, freight, customs and final-mile delivery into Australia.
Can Global Supply Network manufacture in Australia?
Yes. Through sister business McIver Engineering (established 1947), part of Perfetti Engineering Pty Ltd, we offer in-house Australian CNC machining, fabrication, laser cutting, design and assembly in Sydney.
How is GSN different from a sourcing agent or import broker?
GSN is manufacturer-led, not a broker. Our group owns and operates a long-standing Australian manufacturing business, so we evaluate suppliers like engineers, by tolerances, materials, process capability, capacity, lead time and total landed cost.
Which industries does GSN serve?
Industrial equipment, mining, defence, infrastructure, energy, transport, agriculture, construction products and consumer hardware.
How do I contact Global Supply Network?
Email info@globalsupplynetwork.com.au or submit a sourcing brief at https://globalsupplynetwork.com.au/contact.
Is GSN ISO 9001 certified?
GSN itself is not ISO 9001 certified. Many of the overseas suppliers we engage hold ISO 9001, and we check each certificate and its scope with the issuing body during selection. GSN does not currently source regulated medical device parts, and will say so upfront.
How does GSN manage quality on overseas orders?
For ongoing or higher-risk programs we put a Master Services Agreement in place defining inspection points and acceptance criteria. CMM dimensional reports and material certificates are available on request.
Who handles customs and duty into Australia?
Customs clearance, duties, GST and final-mile delivery anywhere in Australia are all managed by us. You receive a single Australian invoice.
Can GSN handle medical device or regulated work?
GSN does not currently source regulated medical device parts, and will say so upfront. For programs requiring a certified prime contractor (for example flight-critical aerospace or implantable medical), GSN is not the right fit and we will say so upfront.
