"Moving Industries for Generations", and every single sentence of this manifesto is meaningful and at the heart of everything we do, inside and outside our company.
Moving means keeping industries moving as market leaders. In our region, we are trusted by 19,000 customers, whose quality and value-creating services are supported by more than 1,900 employees in 9 countries. Our 51 warehouses and sales offices keep our inventory of 27,000 product types moving and managed in a precisely coordinated way across the entire supply chain. We strive for the highest certified quality in our work. We think in terms of flexible, complex and sustainable supply chain solutions by integrating, connecting and continuously improving our systems and business processes. We are looking to the challenges of the future, and together with our customers, we are consciously preparing for the future.
The word industries means that our materials and services are used in all sectors. As a large, manufacturer-independent materials distributor and service provider, we play a key role in the economy and take responsibility for the industry. With our products and services, we ensure that every day cars roll off the assembly line, buildings are built, plants and machines run and electricity is used. We are already focused on making our digitalisation solutions future-proof for our partners. Examples include just-in-time delivery of materials to production sites in many industries and our dedicated inventory management, or our outsourced, Materials-as-a-Service contract services that are now part of everyday industry. We build long term relationships with our customers.
The term For Generations encompasses both our past and our future, as we build for Generations. Our knowledge base and experience is built on previous generations, and following these guidelines gives us the stability we need in a changing world. On this foundation, we can confidently build our innovative solutions to meet our customers' challenges and support their development with maximum and future-proof security. Our sustainability strategy is building our future.
