Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions From Procurement Partners

What is a dual-source supply chain?
A dual-source supply chain splits production for a single product across two qualified manufacturers in different countries. If one source is disrupted by tariffs, port delays, or factory issues, volume shifts to the second source without a supply gap. This structure protects against concentration risk and gives buyers pricing leverage.
What types of products does Northgate supply?
Northgate supplies food service disposables (cups, lids, containers, plates, cutlery), nitrile and vinyl gloves, packaging and janitorial supplies, guest amenities, and sustainable alternatives across all categories. Every product is available under the Northgate brand or through a fully private labeled program built to your specifications.
How does factory-direct pricing compare to wholesale?
Factory-direct sourcing removes the intermediary markup layers that traditional wholesale distributors add. Partners working with a factory-direct supply partner typically observe landed cost reductions in the range of 15% to 25%, depending on the product category and existing supplier structure. The exact savings depend on volume, current markup layers, and product specifications.
What minimum order quantities does Northgate require?
Northgate works with distributors and operators at container-load volumes. Minimum order quantities vary by product category but are typically aligned to full 20-foot or 40-foot container loads. For private label programs, MOQs depend on the specific product, packaging requirements, and mold or artwork specifications.
Does Northgate offer private label programs?
Yes. Northgate manages the full private label lifecycle from concept to container loading. This includes artwork and design support, mold creation (for custom containers or cups), color matching, compliance testing, production oversight, and delivery. Your brand goes on the product and packaging while Northgate handles the supply chain behind it.
How do tariffs affect food service disposables pricing?
Import tariffs on food service disposables vary significantly by product category, country of origin, and the current trade policy environment. Rates can change quickly and stack across multiple trade actions, making single source supply chains a pricing risk. Northgate helps partners manage tariff exposure through multi country production capacity that shifts volume to lower duty origins as conditions change.
