A buyer can gain these savings by using a supplier that is committed, and has the capability, to support its customers by resolving the logistics issues. We have a history of established long-term partnerships where we engineer down the costs of using fasteners and fixings. The most obvious example is the use of customer driven delivery systems such as just-in-time, twin bin, regular replenishment and consignment stock. However, the RSR service goes much further:

	Packaging and labelling to customers requirements, including logos and bar-codes. Packaging can be in good quality boxes for goods stored on shelves, durable polythene bags for goods delivered to site, polypropylene sacks for easy lifting of awkward sizes, or bins and totes to customer specification
	Items can be sorted into kits for delivery with the customers product or into smaller quantities for easier distribution
	Use of customer part numbers throughout, for order entry, labelling, and printing on despatch and invoice stationary
	Stockholding on the customers behalf to benefit from price reductions for larger batch quantities
	A design capability, either in-house or by brand name manufacturer's experts, to offer assistance in specifying fastener and fixings solutions and alternatives at an early stage in the product design process. This can significantly reduce downstream re-design /failure costs
	A huge technical library of standards and manufacturers specifications
	A unique forging facility specialising in fasteners for hostile environments
	Special parts can be supplied at short notice. It is just possible to specify, design, tool, manufacture, finish and supply a totally special part in 24 hours
	We can hold the tooling for special parts so they remain unique to the customer
	Scheduled calls can be arranged by technical or commercial staff to review service levels
	Our sales and technical office number +44 (0) 208 756 1818.
	Quality assurance systems certified to BS EN ISO 9002
	Huge range of products available in our warehouses in London and Kent for next day delivery
	We can even design and supply material handling software to control small parts stores and link to our order processing systems.
