In terms of supply chain working relationships , Roland Zerhusen , Chief Executive Officer , says : “ We place the utmost importance on our supplier relationships . We believe in long-term relationships as they bring the continuity that we require from our vendors – but we understand it ’ s a two-way street . We are always keen to continue working with the same people , especially when it comes to sales consultants , and we vie to grow alongside our partnered companies as we do our customers . It ’ s all centered around being a family company , which empowers us to concentrate on our practices in manufacturing , production and logistics .”
Back in October , the team-family was bonded closer together by working towards and achieving a world record – which has subsequently been broken . Within an eight-hour shift , the team managed to produce 196,299 meters of corrugated cardboard . This thenrecord-breaking run on ‘ Vicky ,’ the 2.8-meter-wide corrugator , had no downtime and managed to maintain an average speed of 408 meters per minute , as well as a top speed of 452 meters per minute . A total of 545,933 square meters were produced , a surface area equivalent to that of 70 football fields , using 195 tons of containerboard .
