kini sudah tiba saatnya bagi kita

Explanation:
'Close to the needle' means 'as nearly as possible',

The expression means in simple terms,

'very near in a ready position to help'

'Just a needle-point away'

'Almost on the spot' to monitor

Saya coba terjemahkan:
"Dengan kantor-kantor cabang di 20 negara, kini sudah tiba saatnya bagi kita, dengan menjalin kerjasama yang erat dengan mitra-mitra kita, untuk mempercepat proses produksi."

1 hr confidence:

dekat dengan konsumen

Explanation:
Menurut penafsiran saya, terjadi kesalahan tulis di sini - 'close to the needle' mestinya 'close to the need.'

'close to the need' = 'dekat dengan orang yang membutuhkan produk yg dihasilkan' atau singkatnya, 'dekat dengan konsumen'

1. It would be tremendously expensive to ship the grain from the Midwest to a port city, then overseas, and then getting it to hungry people We feed more people if we source the grain *as close to the need* as possible.

2. "DNDi is not a public-private partnership in the way it has been defined over the past few years, but a partnership for public response to the crisis of neglected disease. The partners will be *close to the need,* and they are willing and able to assume responsibility as part of their public duty.

Dari dua kutipan di atas, secara umum dapat disimpulkan bahwa

'close to the need' = 'dekat dengan orang yang membutuhkan'

maknanya akan lebih jelas sesuai dengan konteks penggunaan frase tersebut.

Dalam konteks mas Sugeng, 'dekat dengan orang yang membutuhkan produk yang dihasilkan'
Dalam konteks kutipan 1, 'dekat dengan orang-orang yang membutuhkan bantuan pangan'
Dalam konteks 2, 'dekat dengan para pasien yang membutuhkan pelayanan medis'
