Case Study – How Meisterfilter reduced procurement and logistics costs by 10% with CNC24
By using the CNC24 procurement platform, Meisterfilter was able to significantly reduce its procurement and logistics costs.
About Meisterfilter
Meisterfilter is a Swiss company that specializes in the manufacture and distribution of filters and filter solutions.
The company’s business activities focus on the manufacture and sale of high-quality fine dust filters for wood-burning systems in various industries.
In order to meet the high quality requirements of its customers, Meisterfilter places the highest demands on the quality and reliability of its filter solutions.
The challenge
Meisterfilter wanted to reduce the complexity of the procurement of its components to a minimum in order to reduce procurement and logistics costs.
Regularly recurring orders were to be bundled into an annual order that would cover the entire year’s requirements. However, local manufacturers were not in a position to do this either logistically or in terms of price.
The solution
In order to be able to cover the annual requirement with one order, the existing partner network was to be expanded to include a procurement platform.
As CNC24 has both a worldwide partner network and its own measuring center, Meisterfilter can order the required components from CNC24 not only at a lower cost, but also in outstanding quality.
Turning, milling, sheet metal working, welding
The result
The partnership with CNC24 has enabled Meisterfilter to achieve professionalization and increased efficiency along the entire value chain. In addition to the original goal of reducing the cost of components, CNC24 now also organizes customs clearance for the delivery of components to Switzerland.
“We were faced with the major
challenge of finding a partner who could supply us with components of the same quality at more favorable conditions.”
“As a family business, we have always focused on the manufacture and sale of high-quality fine dust filters. The entire logistics surrounding the procurement of the required components has always been a business area in which we have no core expertise. It was therefore very important for us to find a partner who not only supplies us with high-quality components, but also helps us to reduce the costs of logistics and the components themselves”
