CKD & SKD

Streamlining Your Supply Chain with CKD and SKD Solutions

Optimize cost and logistics with CKD/SKD solutions

In the global supply chain, CKD (Completely Knocked Down) and SKD (Semi Knocked Down) solutions offer cost-effective and efficient ways for manufacturers to expand their reach into new markets while keeping expenses low. At Soundroad, we specialize in providing comprehensive CKD and SKD services for medical equipment companies. We handle everything from sourcing components to assembly management, ensuring your products are ready for local production and distribution.

Why Need CKD & SKD

Cost Reduction

Both CKD and SKD are used to minimize shipping costs and import duties, as customs duties are often lower on parts than on fully assembled goods. These solutions can make entering new markets more affordable by reducing your overall production and distribution expenses

Local Manufacturing Benefits

Local assembly allows you to adapt products to regional specifications, quality standards, and customer preferences. It also supports local economies and often provides tax incentives in certain regions

Simplified Logistics

CKD and SKD shipments reduce the complexity of shipping large, bulky products by breaking them down into smaller parts. This can simplify customs clearance and reduce shipping and handling fees.

Market Expansion

By utilizing CKD or SKD, manufacturers can enter new markets and avoid the high costs of setting up full-scale factories in each region. It’s an effective strategy for expanding your market footprint in regions with high import tariffs or manufacturing costs
