A Foundry customer faced a challenge when their previous supplier of flame-resistant (FR) clothing ran out of material to produce the required PPE, despite being given clear communication about an upcoming increase in demand.

Rather than leaving the customer without a solution, Martin’s team stepped in to help. We leveraged our network of supply chain partners and quickly sourced an alternative product that met all the customer’s specifications. The replacement items were in stock, ensuring there was no disruption to the customer’s operations.

The new PPE passed inspections from both the Customer’s Safety team and the Foundry Supervisor. By stepping in when the previous supplier fell short, Martin acted as a valuable risk mitigator, demonstrating sourcing expertise. Additionally, the new jackets were 20% less expensive, leading to a $6,000 annual savings for the customer.
