Saving warehouse space, saving money

PackSynergy customers optimise and decrease their material inventories, save time and money, reduce their warehouse space, improve their flows of goods and information, offload some of the burden of their daily business and navigate successfully through the myriad of suppliers.

Thomas A. Baur: “We offer solutions that cash in for our customers.

Just recently a leading supplier for the automotive industry who had been struggling with the corrosion of its metal sleeve during transport switched to our network partner Horna. Horna introduced a simple but clever packaging solution that is saving €1 million for our customer by eliminating the risk of corrosion.” In another recent business case, PackSynergy’s Czech network partner Servisbal developed a tailored PackStation for an international producer of steering systems. As a result the customer now saves up to 90 per cent of the space originally dedicated to the packaging process, and up to four full-time employees. Both space and employees can now be used for other production tasks.

Communicate in your own language

When customers work with one of the PackSynergy partners, they get local expertise, short communication lines and optimal supply chains. Partner companies rely on each other’s competency, local contacts, and product and service offerings. Thomas A. Baur: “Customers that operate in different European countries love it when they can handle all their deliveries through one single business contact, with whom they can communicate in their own language. As an example: Wepa, one of our German partner companies, had to face the switch of a production site by one of its customers from Germany to the Czech Republic. With the assistance of our Czech partner Servisbal, Wepa was able to guarantee a smooth and effective continuation of its services to the new construction site.”
