After the successful first period, this cooperation is made official and the package is expanded to include office supplies, workwear and canteen supplies. We can no longer ignore it: joint procurement is so much more efficient!
Joint quest for sustainability
Less plastic, less waste and more recycling was high on our list of priorities. And so we began our joint search for new packaging and ways to achieve our sustainable goals. With FM Group, we had a lot of common ground in the field of sustainability, which was the starting point of our cooperation.
Ferry Schoneveld (sourcing manager FTG): “I am very enthusiastic about this cooperation! It creates plenty of new opportunities for product development and further sustainability of these product groups”.
More cost effectiveipurchasing and simple stock managament
This cooperation offers plenty of economies of scale. FTG can purchase more efficiently, and it is also easier to organise and manage the stock together. If one company has something left over and another is short, we can now switch more quickly. Ferry explains: “Through a centralised approach, we work more efficiently and better.”
