SFS unimarket recognised by Georg Fischer
17 August 2015
Georg Fischer Machining Solutions has named SFS unimarket AG as one of its best supplier partners worldwide, when it named it as one of the ‘Top 10 Suppliers 2015’ out of the approximately 1,100 suppliers that were evaluated by the company.
SFS is a long-standing partner of Georg Fischer Machining Solutions (GF) offering supply chain solutions for C-Class items. The distribution and logistics segment (SFS unimarket) has implemented innovative logistics concepts at GF’s main manufacturing sites in Luterbach, Nidau, Langnau in Emmental, Losone and Meyrin, all located in Switzerland. These logistics solutions have reduced process costs, optimised inventory levels and increased process reliability.
The ‘GF MS Top 10 Suppliers 2015’ award was conferred at the GF Group level for the first time. SFS unimarket was recognised in particular for its “excellent support during implementation of C-Parts management with flexible and non-bureaucratic assistance”. Six criteria were evaluated during this assessment of suppliers: Flexibility, delivery, reliability and punctuality, quality, loyalty, innovation and competitiveness. GF specifically thanked SFS unimarket employees for their commitment and performance.
Josef Zünd, head of the distribution and logistics segment at SFS Group, said: “It is an honour to receive this award from Georg Fischer Machining Solutions, which goes to show the high-quality and value that SFS unimarket offers its customers. Our objective over the coming year is to achieve even higher marks with regard to the six quality metrics and create more value for our customers.”
