Home Supply Chain Optimisation Print Sourcing Raw Material Sourcing

We pass the savings we can leverage on to you.

We buy direct from our suppliers in bulk, getting better deals on paper and ink and cutting out the middle-men.

Scale does have its benefits, especially when you’re talking in excess of £200m.

When it comes to the raw materials we need to function, we have strong relationships higher up the supply chain – almost at source in many respects. This gives us, and you, several advantages:

Better leverage on procurement negotiation
Guaranteed supply
Simplified processes
Increased clarity of supply chain standards (quality, environmental)

The raw material we purchase is not just used within our own production facilities, but also for each and every printer within our supply chain. We know we can negotiate better deals, so we supply the printers we use with the paper we buy.

How this benefits you

Reduced print costs.
The savings we make on raw material sourcing helps us keep your prices down. Our print management model uses a transparent cost structure – we charge actual prices for print and materials so our customers benefit as much as we do.
Sustainability.
The environment is high on our procurement agenda, so we only buy from sustainable sources. In fact, by 2010, all our paper will be from FSC accredited suppliers.
