We are smaller than the main distributors and are consequently able to give our customers a more flexible and focussed service. We are happy to shun the large corporate style approach and instead tailor our offer to whatever the customer needs. As a result, we are frequently told by our customers they prefer our approach and we are winning new customers all the time as a result.
How we help you to buy better and pay less for your polymers?
Operating within a mature sector, we have developed a new model from the major polymer distributors. We give our customers the opportunity to now source their ‘specified’ engineering polymers from somewhere other than the official distributor. By opening up the market in this way, we are helping companies to compete more effectively and improve their profitability.
In our industry, strong growth in key sectors such as automotive have led to extended lead times for many engineering polymers. This has given injection moulders real problems as they struggle to meet deadlines. Hardies however, have been able to use the full extent of their international supply base of 350 companies, to track down stocks of these scarce materials and help injection moulding companies get their material on time.
Because we are an independent thermoplastics distributor and not tied to certain polymer producers, we offer grades from almost any producer. This saves our customers from having to deal with multiple suppliers. We also work on tighter margins than our larger competitors. Our customers can often access better pricing for these ‘specified’ grades.
