Having a high quality reliable supply chain is absolutely critical for all manufacturing businesses, even more so when a global pandemic hits.
During the summer, when the pandemic permitted travel, we took the opportunity to meet up with Gary Haynes and his team to update our supply chain agreement for high quality engineered rubber backing.
Kleen-tex group is the global market leader in rubber backed matting and stands out in quality, operational excellence, flexibility and customer focus. We share the ambition and creativity towards a more sustainable future and many of our developments together are based on the reduction of our environmental impact.
QEW, based in the Netherlands, have been a leading partner to Kleen-Tex in Europe for a number of years. QEW is a sustainable supplier and we have recently completed a significant investment in our R&D capabilities, as well as commencing a project to provide solar power for both our own requirements, whilst supporting the Dutch national grid.
It’s certainly been a very challenging year in many respects, but engaging partnerships based upon high quality, mutual trust and sustainability will become increasingly critical to our future successes.
