The Insert Company (UK) Ltd is a highly experienced, specialised supplier of high performance threaded inserts, with access to a wide product range and global stock.
Through the success of the company over the last few years, The Insert Company has been able to increase both its workforce and stockholding by 30%. “We have done this because we have become a true global supplier with an increase in demand from customers in the USA to Australia and everywhere in between,” states Director Kevin Broome.
“Due to the uncertainty of BREXIT, the importance of stockholding has never been so great, which is why we invested and closely monitored our stock levels to ensure even the most unpredictable demand can be met.”
Kevin points out that this stock commitment has been certified by its role in helping to handle the Covid-19 pandemic. “We were selected to participate in the ‘blue sky’ project to provide emergency ventilators for the NHS. Being an existing supplier, with long-term relationships to a number of the companies – including a leading Formula 1 team – forming the consortium, we were chosen to supply all the inserts. This was due to our reputation for reacting rapidly to demand, with very high standards of quality. We sourced inserts in volume, with unusual thread sizes, which had to be airfreighted from a number of different countries. The whole process from enquiry to delivery was overseen and expertly managed,” explains Kevin. “We have also supplied many other companies who are involved in the production of glass screens for shops and visors. We have secured supply sources when other companies have exhausted stocks due to the unprecedented levels of demand.”
Valuing and building relationships with all customers is a key drive for The Insert Company. “We aim to understand and respond accordingly to their needs, to adapt in-line with their own changing environment,” points out Kevin. “We are always delighted to add new product lines to stock if our customers demand it.”
The Insert Company is able to build these relationships thanks to its staff, who have detailed knowledge of the products, and understand the mechanical properties involved. “Many companies rely so heavily upon part numbers, without any knowledge of what the product is, or does, and are therefore unable to offer any independent advice or a solution,” states Kevin. “Most of our workforce have spent their lives working within the fastening industry, so have a brilliant understanding of what is possible as standard and what is special.”
