Sandvik has recently opened a new distribution center in Singapore to meet increasing demand for its advanced stainless steel and special alloy products, particularly in South East Asia and the wider Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. The new Sandvik distribution center, which is strategically located adjacent to Changi Airport, East Singapore, is key to the companyâs customer service commitment as well as its expansion plans in the region.
âTo improve our customer service in the Asia region, we are establishing a distribution center in Singapore offering significantly shorter lead-times to the market. Opening the new facility means we are able to bring our products closer to our customers, cutting response times significantly and enabling quicker deliveries,â? explained Pär Burefjord, Logistics Manager for Sandvik in APAC.
The new distribution center boasts an impressive capacity and will accommodate tube products such as seamless high temperature tubes and furnace tubes, as well as stainless steel hollow bar for component manufacturers. The center will also stock an extensive program of welding consumables, precision wire and Kanthal® resistance wire and furnace products.
