The industrial landscape is characterized by unique dynamics: Competition and price pressure are increasing, global supply chains are struggling with disruptions, the pace of innovation is potentiating and the drive for sustainable action requires new solutions. Modern companies need agile partners with consulting expertise.
We make our customers' success our priority and ensure that they can concentrate on what is essential – their core business. As one of the world’s leading mill-independent materials distribution and service providers, we cover the entire materials supply chain, as our business model ranges from materials trading to digital supply chain solutions.
