MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) products and services specialist Brammer says it has now enabled more than £100 million in cost savings for its customers in less than five years.
All of these savings, it says, have been individually verified by customers, confirming Brammer's status as a key strategic partner to manufacturing companies of all sizes and across a broad spectrum of sectors.
Ian Ritchie, managing director of Brammer UK, says the company has delivered thousands of initiatives, ranging from the recommendation and supply of cost-effective or energy efficient replacement devices, to long-term stores reviews and upgrade projects.
"Our range of replacement components is the broadest in UK manufacturing industry – with access to some four million components from the world's leading suppliers," comments Ritchie.
"Our group buying power guarantees competitive prices [so] companies that choose Brammer to supply their MRO spares can enjoy cost savings from day one," he adds.
However, Ritchie suggests that where Brammer really starts to add significant value is when the firm is singed up as a key strategic partner, offering recommendations and implementing continuous improvement projects.
"This is a function which an increasing number of companies are completely outsourcing to Brammer, to reduce their supplier base and free up in-house stores and technical teams to focus on other value-adding projects," he asserts.
And he cites technical improvement projects as well as stores and inventory management as contributing to cost savings and value in industry sectors ranging from food and beverage to metals, aggregates, utilities, aerospace, automotive, chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
Brammer customers in the UK include major names such as Kraft, Tarmac, Tata Steel, EDF Energy and BAe.
