Miguel Rodríguez, a Santo Domingo-based food packaging trader, had built a steady clientele of local restaurants and catering businesses over 10 years. His core product—aluminum foil containers—faced constant demand, but his supply chain was plagued by inconsistent quality and delayed shipments from regional manufacturers. Containers often arrived with dents or uneven seals, leading to customer complaints. Worse, price fluctuations from Latin American suppliers squeezed his margins.
In 2024, Miguel attended a trade fair in Miami, where he met Lauvacs’ sales team. After comparing quotes, he realized Chinese manufacturers offered 30% lower prices than his existing suppliers, with no compromise on quality. Lauvacs stood out for:
Customization: Willingness to produce niche sizes (e.g., pastelillo trays popular in Dominican cuisine).
Quality Assurance: ISO-certified production with third-party lab tests for food-grade safety.
Logistics Flexibility: Consolidated shipping options to reduce costs for small-medium orders.
Miguel initially hesitated due to stereotypes about “cheap Chinese goods,” but a free sample shipment convinced him. Lauvacs’ foil containers demonstrated:
Durability: Reinforced rims prevented leaks during transport.
Consistency: 99% defect-free rate in initial batches.
Speed: 25-day production-to-delivery timeline—half the time of his previous supplier.
Within 6 months, Miguel switched 80% of his orders to Lauvacs. The savings allowed him to offer competitive bulk discounts, growing his sales by 40%. He later expanded his product line to include eco-friendly foil lids, sourced exclusively from Lauvacs.
“Lauvacs treats my business like family,” Miguel noted. “Their team even adjusted production schedules during hurricane season to ensure I never ran out of stock.”
