A Whole Lot More Than Wholesale Pricing

Spotting a trend in online shopping very early, this Dutch steel wholesaler and contract manufacturer now uses automated ordering, in-line storage and tower systems for continuous flow operations that have built a unique reputation for fast deliveries of custom-made steel, Inox or aluminum parts in small quantities, with a comprehensive array of services.

Keeping the “Continuous” in Continuous Improvement

It’s still not uncommon to walk into a facility and find heavy gauge and plate materials, large stacks of coils, or bundled pipe and tubing stored on the shop floor, waiting to be retrieved and moved to another location in the plant for processing – along with all of the potential safety issues and adverse effects on profitability. Before investing in any system to solve this problem, a shop must determine exactly what they are trying to accomplish and explore how they process their inventory, right down to the orientation of the raw material when it’s initially received.
