Logistical solutions
Our customer Aweta
‘Making each other better, that’s what it’s all about.’
Oreel provides a complete supply so that customers are ready in one go. In addition to tailor-made products, this also means tailor-made logistics solutions. An intensive relationship with the customer is the basis for this. Oreel has been working on an optimal supply process for Aweta in recent years; a major player in the field of sorting and packaging machines in the fruit and vegetable industry. “We operate at the top of the world and our customers place high demands on us. Logically, we also expect a lot from our suppliers, “said Peter Vermaat, responsible for purchasing and logistics at Aweta. “Oreel can make parts we need. The most important thing is that the logistics then run in such a way that we can pick up everything on the floor and get it into the machine building line. Oreel is very good at this, it really sets them apart from other parties.
At Aweta, we assemble an entire sorting machine between 10 and 15 days. If a calamity occurs, it is very important that you have a flexible supplier who can remake something ad hoc. Without discussions or unnecessary waiting, because we cannot reach our customers with that. Oreel understands this very well and knows our work process.
We really work on the basis of a partnership. Our companies have fixed contact persons and fixed meetings among themselves. In recent years, Aweta and Oreel have taken many steps in terms of processes and nowadays we are mainly trying to further refine logistics. For example, we want to use less packaging and look together for smarter solutions. Making each other better, that’s what it’s all about. “
