/ The promise

Your business is our business

We act as if your business is our business, because we know how much rides on a smooth supply chain. A late shipment, a wrong tolerance, a quiet supplier. These are not problems we hand back to you with an email.

We speak to the kinks before they bite. We chase the factory floor, untangle freight, fix the spec and hold the line on quality. We handle it all, end to end, so you can run your business instead of chasing ours.

Stacked steel sheets, aluminium billets and engineering plastics. Raw industrial materials sourced globally.
01. Raw Materials01

Services, quick answers

What services does Global Supply Network offer?

Three core services: (1) worldwide raw material sourcing, (2) end-to-end overseas manufacturing management, and (3) in-house Australian manufacturing through sister business McIver Engineering in Sydney.

What raw materials can GSN source?

Metals (steel, aluminium, stainless, tool steel, alloys), engineering plastics (nylon, ABS, POM, PP, PC, PE), castings, forgings, sheet, billet, extrusion, fasteners and fittings.

What overseas manufacturing processes does GSN cover?

CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, injection moulding, casting, 3D printing and assembly. We manage tooling, samples, supplier negotiation, production oversight, QC and shipping.

Does GSN handle freight and customs into Australia?

Yes, end to end. Ocean and air freight, consolidation, customs brokerage, duties, GST and final-mile delivery anywhere in Australia.

Can GSN run a hybrid offshore plus onshore program?

Yes. Many clients use offshore for volume components and onshore (via McIver Engineering) for finishing, assembly or critical parts under one brief and one team.

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.

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.
