Together, we can continuously supply chain to make it more efficient, more reliable and more sustainable. The past year certainly had its challenges as a result of both growth and availability: growth in revenue and customers’ expectations regarding our services; and availability in terms of plant supply, temporary staff and transport capacity. “ We all want efficiency, effectiveness and integration. The same goes for Royal Lemkes and Mandersloot. We are therefore joining forces to generate ongoing innovation in the field of automation with a view to the future.

Looking ahead, we want to work together on more advanced forecasting tools to gain ever better insight into volumes. By working jointly, we can grow together in an increasingly digitised world. ” Henri Groothuis IT Manager, Mandersloot 38
