ANDRITZ commodities

Available on time and at best price

The challenge

Economically successful companies worldwide have to deal with enormous cost pressure in maintenance and spare parts management. In spite of tight budgets, the plants must provide optimum services and high availability. Low-cost spare parts of top quality are an absolute must if these stringent demands are to be met.

Market tendencies show a rise in the purchase of aftermarket parts that cannot meet the customers’ high quality demands in the majority of cases. In addition, more and more suppliers have to be contacted during the purchasing process in order to have a price comparison, but these suppliers have very little experience with the high demands involved in the operation of manufacturing plants.
