Colonial Purchasing is the power of purchasing
Colonial Purchasing is a co-operative venture which has been formed by thirteen companies in the United States that replicate compact discs. By joining this purchasing co-op, the companies gain greater buying power for the materi-als they need. The members of Colonial Purchasing are able to level the playing field with larger replicators that buy the same amount of material on their own.
A new revolution
In a time where the cost of materials necessary to make compact discs have risen dramatically, a co-opera tive venture was formed. Thirteen compact disc manufacturers in the United States met in Philadelphia to form a new alliance called Colonial Purchasing.
By joining this co-op, the companies gained greater buying power for the materials they need to replicate compact discs. Under the co-ope rative’s agree-ment, resin and a variety of other volume materials for repli cating, printing, and packaging are bought in larger quantities, yielding lower price points.
If each company was to buy its own materials at their own quantity, than it would be more difficult for them to make a profit without raising their prices. The members of Colonial Purchasing are able to provide high quality products to their customers while being competitively priced. In the end, our members can increase their profitability while keeping their customers completely satisfied.
