We have always sourced our raw materials exclusively in Europe. This is currently paying off in particular.
There are repeated major disruptions in global supply chains, triggered, for example, by attacks on freighters in the Red Sea. Many shipping companies are therefore forced to divert their container ships from Asia to Europe and take the much longer route around the Cape of Good Hope. This is causing delays and increased costs for companies worldwide that rely on imports of raw materials and products.
Security through local sourcing
While many companies are suffering from the current disruptions, we and our customers remain unaffected by these challenges. Our long-standing commitment to sourcing raw materials locally is paying off in the current situation. By sourcing our raw materials exclusively in Europe, we are able to successfully minimize the risks associated with long and complex supply chains.
Further advantages of European raw materials
The decision to use local suppliers offers numerous advantages that go far beyond simply avoiding current supply bottlenecks. Short delivery routes not only mean greater reliability, but also a significant reduction in CO2 emissions and transport costs. In addition, close cooperation with European partners enables better control over the quality of the materials purchased and promotes the local economy.
Future-proof thanks to flexibility and local partnerships
Current events underscore the importance of flexibility and choosing robust supply chains. We have always pursued these principles and relied on strong local networks and partnerships. This approach not only guarantees uninterrupted supply, but also strengthens our company's resilience to global challenges.
Leidel & Kracht remains your reliable partner – today and in the future.
