Agrati and Semblex Form Global Alliance
Italian multinational firm Agrati Group and Semblex Corp. of Elmhurst, IL, announced a global alliance to provide fastener solutions and cold-formed special products for OEM and component suppliers.
The alliance is an effort “to combine two supplier teams in order to provide global customers with a single source for technical, quality, and logistics support.”
Local engineering support, local quality response and local sales support to purchasing, as well as “in-country” inventory, material planning, and other logistics support for customer plants in all three regions are granted for customer plants in Europe, North America, and Asia.
The alliance allows selected customers to:
Have a synergy on design and application solutions between Europe and Asia (Agrati) and North America (Semblex)
Compare technical specifications to European, Asian and American standards to ensure common global part design
Receive applications, part testing, and validation support in Europe, Asia (Agrati) and North America (Semblex)
Have sample availability in Europe, Asia and North America
Make cost-reduction programs coordinated in Europe, Asia and North America
Take advantage of a strong, synchronized supplier team supporting USA purchasing and engineering teams in Europe, Asia and North America
Optimize logistics and control shipping costs through the presence of in-country inventory, materials planning, and customer service regardless of where in the world the customer plant is located.
Founded in 1939, A. Agrati S.p.A provides fastening technology all over the world with a primary focus on automotive applications. Agrati reported EUR 350 million turnover in 2011, with 1,700 employees in 11 facilities.
