Your business runs more smoothly if you can be sure that components will be delivered on time or on demand. Investacast has comprehensive systems and agreements in place to ensure we can support 100% on-time delivery, agree stockholding and order call-off. Efficient stock management and stockholding help manage the supply of parts efficiently for our customers, helping to de-risk supply and delivering logistical and cost benefits too.
On-time delivery is crucial, especially for performance-critical components where delays can cause expensive downtime. Dominic Begley, General Manager at Investacast, says the company has invested in key systems to support on-time delivery for all customers.
“Whether customers choose components made by Investacast here in the UK or sourced from our trusted global foundry partners, we have strong systems in place to manage stock. We use Kanban inventory management software for live tracking of component supply, and are continuously checking and improving our systems to minimise stress and risk for our customers.”
OTD requires excellent quality control to ensure that parts consistently meet specifications. Our in-house Quality Control is robust and we work closely with our supply chain partners to ensure the highest quality standards.
Investacast is much more than a component manufacturer. As your supply chain partner, we help you match the supply chain solution to your specific requirements, optimising quality and cost.
Expromet Technologies Group’s British manufacturing facilities may be the most suitable choice, especially for sectors where there are restrictions on overseas supply. As Dom explains, Investacast’s extensive understanding of alternative manufacturing options is of huge benefit to customers:
“It has taken us many years to develop a comprehensive knowledge of the various options available across the world. We have a dedicated team of engineers assisting with design for manufacture and select the best route for production based on materials, volume, complexity and manufacturing method.”
With a long history in providing precision components for performance-critical applications, Investacast has the expert knowledge and insights to identify the right foundry for a specific product, and will provide end-to-end management of the process from design to delivery.
Investacast removes barriers for customers by building strong customer relationships so that we understand your business and your pain points as well as you do. As your supply chain partner, we can optimise stock control for you, calculating lead and replenishment times effectively for your specific business and components.
“If we know that demand will be volatile, we can implement issues to cope. We understand all of the issues that can arise from global supply chain disruption and will find a solution,” confirms Dom. “We might hold cast stock at our facility in Devon or at an overseas partner’s warehouse, then have it machined and finished once a trigger-point agreed with the customer is hit – we always work hard to find a solution that suits you.”
As part of Expromet Technologies Group, Investacast also has access to Expromet’s new facility in the Philippines, extending global sourcing and warehousing capabilities. Customers can use our Southeast Asia stockholding and call-off facilities, and have the opportunity to benefit from on-site CNC machining and tariff advantages.
At Investacast, we know that good stock management and stockholding can significantly de-risk the component supply chain. We build strong relationships with our customers and overseas suppliers to ensure that we can deliver the high-quality components you need, when you need them, across the world.
