Lock Specification
Material, construction, dimensions, hardware, packaging and tolerances.
Phase XLIV / Global Sourcing Arbitrage Matrix
Do not ask
who is cheapest.
Ask which manufacturing geography creates the best transaction for the exact product, buyer, destination and payment structure.
Arbitrage doctrine
COUNTRY × PRODUCT × MARKET
× TRANSACTION.
No country wins universally. Luxophy uses a portfolio of manufacturing geographies and creates competition only after the specification is controlled.
