Premium fasteners play an important role in a wide range of critical applications all around the world. BUMAX has worked to maintain the supply of its fasteners to ensure Covid-19 has minimal disruption on the global supply chain.<\/p>\n
This is part of the BUMAX approach to always be a reliable and trusted supplier that not only delivers, but also follows rigorous international protocols, including the Bufab Code of Conduct that is aligned with the UN Global Compact.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur number one priority has always been to safeguard the health of our employees and their families,\u201d underlines Patrik Lundstr\u00f6m T\u00f6rnquist, Managing Director at Bufab. \u201cIf our employees are healthy, this also ensures we can meet our customer demands.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the beginning of the pandemic, BUMAX divided its production team into two shifts and worked with social distancing measures to ensure they did not mix. The shifts were arranged so that if one shift became infected, the other could continue production at the factory \u2013 all to minimize the direct impacts of Covid-19 on production.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe morning shift left the building just before the afternoon shift to avoid the two teams meeting, we also set up separate toilets and canteen facilities for the different shifts, prohibited all but essential visitors, stopped travelling and stepped up our cleaning routines,\u201d says T\u00f6rnquist. \u201cTo date, we have had no cases of Covid-19 at our factory in \u00c5shammar. Not everyone was used to working in shifts, but everyone has been supportive, and appreciated the precautional measures we took.\u201d<\/p>\n
BUMAX has a large stock of products in V\u00e4rnamo, Sweden, as well as stocks at Bufab sites throughout Europe \u2013 to ensure fast delivery to customers in Europe and beyond.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe always maintain a large stock of our products that are ready for shipping \u2013 including both standard BUMAX products and some of our custom products,\u201d explains T\u00f6rnquist. \u201cWe also stock raw materials at our production plant in \u00c5shammar to ensure we can continue to produce our products even if our supply of steel is disrupted.\u201d<\/p>\n
As a European manufacturer based in Sweden, BUMAX has a resilient supply chain. Most raw materials are sourced locally in Sweden, with some from other European sources.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know that many customers and industry partners out there have suffered disruptions to their supply chains in Asia for example,\u201d says T\u00f6rnquist. \u201cBut I am proud that we managed to keep our machines up and running and we met all our customer needs according to our promises in a timely manner.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
