Business Contingency As a supplier to many “time critical” industries for many years, we have made a serious commitment to ensuring that our clients are serviced with adequate stock levels at all times. We understand that continuity of supply is of crucial importance to the retail sector and that any stock shortages would lead to the disruption of the retail sales process. With the goal of maintaining a steady, continuous supply of stock, we have undertaken four definite steps to reduce risks and improve efficiency in the supply chain:
We Cover Your Back
We have multiple reliable overseas manufacturing sources. In the event of unforeseen circumstances such as shipping delays, materials shortages, and industrial accidents, we can supply from an alternate manufacturing facility. In addition to our local operations we operate extrusion, printing and converting capabilities in Penang, Malaysia and Bangkok, Thailand.
We Protect Your Stock
We have the ability to maintain several months’ worth of stock for our clients in our large fully-owned and protected storage facility. Our fireproofed warehouse is equipped with CCTV camera security, swipe card access and 24-hour alarm monitoring. We take proactive measures to reduce the risk of unforeseen theft, arson or vandalisation affecting our capability to supply.
Crisis Management Procedures in Place
Our staff constantly monitor stock and usage rates. Several months’ stock for each product line will always be kept on hand. Additionally, “back up” stock is also retained and is ready for dispatch in case of unforeseen circumstances arising. We leave nothing to chance.
Manufacturing in Melbourne
Our manufacturing arm, Vicpac Flexibles Australia Pty Ltd also has the capacity to produce many items locally in the event of unforeseen circumstance or extreme urgency. Our local manufacturing plant is an ISO 9001:2008 Quality Certified and HACCP Food Safety Certified facility, complete with eight colour Flexographic printing press, lamination facilities, slitting and rewind machinery, and a variety of bag making conversion machines. Timely delivery and reliable service are strong characteristics prevalent throughout our history. We have a legacy of delivering during times of intense pressure and in the crucible of “peak season” for many industries. We do this with extensive consultation with the client, and detailed planning. We have a reliable system and infrastructure to ensure that you always have access to stock in a timely fashion – a system that has stood the test of time.
