Supplier search and development
We shortlist Indian makers for your part, visit their plants, and check process capability and quality systems before any quotation. Where no one fits, we develop one.

Need something that is not on this list?As your procurement arm in India, we find and develop the supplier for it.See how it works →Beyond our list: your procurement arm in India
Most manufacturers in Germany cannot justify an office in India. We work as one for you: we find, qualify and develop Indian suppliers for parts outside our range, hold them to your drawing, and ship their parts with the rest of your order.
Your drawing and BOMQumek in IndiaMake or source the partOne inspected shipmentYour destination
Samples and first article approval
Samples are made and measured against your drawing, and a first article report goes to you for approval before production starts.
Quality checked on the ground
Our team inspects in process and before dispatch at the supplier, so problems are caught in India, not at your goods-in.
One contract, one invoice
You buy from Qumek, not from a chain of suppliers. We answer for the price, the drawing and the paperwork.
One shipment, one paperwork pack
Parts from several suppliers are consolidated into one shipment, with the RoHS, REACH and SCIP paperwork for every part.
A second source in India
An approved Indian source for parts you buy from one supplier today, so a single factory or a single country is no longer a risk to your line.

Our problem to solve
2027
Expected entry into force of the EU–India FTA, when EU duties on Indian engineering goods go to zero.
Duty on Indian parts, now and under the FTA
The EU and India concluded their free trade agreement on 27 January 2026. Until it applies, standard EU duties apply to parts from India.
- Today
- Standard EU (MFN) duty rates. India’s GSP preference is suspended for plastics, base metals and electrical parts from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2028.
- FTA status
- Negotiations concluded on 27 January 2026. The text is in legal review, with entry into force expected in 2027.
- At entry into force
- EU tariffs of up to 10% on Indian engineering goods go to zero, and the EU removes tariffs on over 90% of its tariff lines.
- How you will claim it
- Through the proof of origin the final text sets. We supply the origin records your claim needs.
- Until then
- Compare the standard duty from India with your current source in the landed cost calculator. Quotations show the duty separately.

EU CBAM, now in its definitive phase
CBAM puts a carbon price on imported aluminium and steel. Copper, brass and plastic parts are outside it, for now.
In scopeAluminium and steel parts
- Aluminium heat sinks and extrusions
- Aluminium die-cast parts
- Aluminium busbars
- Mild steel stampings
- Steel fasteners
OutsideCopper, brass and plastic parts
- Copper busbars
- Lugs and terminals
- Flexible connectors and braids
- Contacts
- Coils
- Copper and brass turned parts
- Plastic mouldings
- Definitive since
- 1 January 2026. Importers report embedded emissions and surrender CBAM certificates.
- Who it applies to
- Importers of more than 50 tonnes of CBAM goods a year, who must register as CBAM declarants.
- From 2028
- The EU plans to extend CBAM to 180 steel- and aluminium-intensive downstream products from 1 January 2028, so more finished parts may come into scope.
- Emissions data
- Without verified data, default values apply and usually cost more. We supply the embedded emissions data for aluminium and steel parts with the shipment.
EU compliance, covered
Components for electrical equipment carry declarations, not marks. These come with every order.
EU RoHS
A declaration per part, by homogeneous material. Leaded free-cutting brass relies on the exemption for lead in copper alloys; we flag it and quote low-lead brass where you need it.
REACH and SCIP
A statement on substances of very high concern above 0.1% by weight, for your Article 33 duty to inform and your SCIP database notification.
CE marking
Parts like busbars, lugs and contacts are not marked themselves; your finished equipment carries the CE mark. Our declarations go into your technical file.
Standards
We work to the standard your drawing names, such as EN 13601 for copper for electrical purposes, EN 61439 or EN 60947 where the assembly applies, and DIN EN and VDE standards.
Sustainability questionnaires
Answers and supporting data for the supplier questionnaires your sustainability and due diligence reporting asks for.
Confidentiality
We sign your NDA before manufacturing, and your drawings are used only for your parts.
From drawing to your site in Germany

Questions buyers ask
Can you source parts outside your product list?+
Yes. We work as your procurement arm in India: we find and qualify suppliers for parts made to your drawing, approve samples against it, inspect before dispatch, and ship the parts with the rest of your order under one contract.
How is this different from a sourcing agent?+
A sourcing agent introduces you to suppliers and takes a commission; the contract and the risk stay with you. You buy from Qumek. We answer for the part, the price and the paperwork, and the quality problem is ours to solve.
What duty applies to electrical parts from India into Germany?+
Standard EU duty rates apply today, and India’s GSP preference is suspended for plastics, base metals and electrical parts from 2026 to 2028. When the EU–India FTA enters into force, expected in 2027, tariffs of up to 10% on Indian engineering goods go to zero.
Are copper parts covered by EU CBAM?+
No. CBAM covers aluminium, iron and steel, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen and electricity. Aluminium heat sinks and castings, and steel stampings and fasteners, are in scope. The EU plans to add 180 downstream steel and aluminium products from 2028.
Do you supply SCIP information?+
Yes. We state any substance of very high concern above 0.1% by weight in each part, so you can make your SCIP notification and meet your duty to inform.
Do your parts need a CE mark?+
Components such as busbars, lugs and contacts are not marked themselves. Your finished equipment carries the CE mark, and our declarations support your technical file.
Do you work to DIN EN and EN standards?+
Yes. We work to the standard your drawing names, and to metric drawings.
Can you match a part we buy from another supplier?+
Yes. Send the drawing, and a sample if the drawing is incomplete. We tell you what can be held before we quote, then make samples for your approval.
Can you take a small order?+
Yes. Small, engineering-heavy batches are work we take, from prototype quantities upwards.
