Holding a comprehensive, in-depth range of steel pipes, pipe components and valves is one of our core competencies. Our strategic stocks are held at various locations in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia.
Managing our stocks is a critical aspect of our operations. Optimizing stock levels while continuing to guarantee our customers excellent service requires constant monitoring and fine-tuning. So we invest heavily in our people and in training, software systems and resources to achieve this. A few years ago, for instance, we introduced a sophisticated platform lift system for the storage of a significant proportion of our components, and have brought in an innovative software system for stock control.
