Eriks helps UK newsprint manufacturer improve MRO stores

摘要

Eriks Integrated Solutions, a division of Eriks UK, has been chosen as the partner for an integrated supply contract that will improve maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) procurement and stores management at UK-based Aylesford Newsprint. Based near Maidstone in Kent, Aylesford Newsprint is a manufacturer of premium quality newsprint. The firm says that its maintenance and engineering practices at the site have been the subject of much positive media coverage over the years, but need to be improved, as Purchasing Manager Chris Gardner explained: "Despite the fact that the stores were working well, they were not performing any strategic function. We wanted to take them forward and identified that to optimise the function we needed external expertise, which is when we became aware of the integrated systems and technologies offered by Eriks."
