Strategic Support for a Leading Adhesives Supplier in the Foundry Industry
Case Study
In the specialised world of the foundry industry, reliability and continuous supply are crucial for success. Maker partnered with a leading adhesives supplier to overcome a significant operational disruption, ensuring product continuity and safeguarding customer relationships.
Background
Our client, a prominent supplier of adhesives for the foundry sector, faced a major challenge when a devastating fire destroyed their production facility. This incident not only halted manufacturing operations but also posed a serious risk to their business reputation and client trust. In an industry where timely delivery and consistent quality are paramount, maintaining product availability was essential for their survival.
The challenge
Following the fire, our client approached Maker with an urgent request: “Will you manufacture our product while we rebuild our factory?” Without immediate action, they risked significant revenue loss and jeopardising their longstanding customer relationships.
The solution
To tackle this critical requirement, Maker stepped in with a comprehensive solution that included:
- Formulation Transfer: The client provided detailed formulations for their adhesives, ensuring that Maker could replicate the products to meet client specifications.
- Production Continuity: Maker assumed the manufacturing responsibilities, allowing the client to continue supplying their customers without interruption during the rebuilding phase of their factory.
- Financial Impact Assessment: Throughout this period, Maker supplied approximately £300,000 worth of adhesive materials annually. This collaboration not only prevented revenue loss but also enabled our client to maintain and expand their market presence, generating over £1 million in sales from their continuous product offerings.
