eFFIcIency and relIabIlIty to<br />
suPPort our customers<br />
Rising precious metal prices coupled<br />
with ever shorter lead times are<br />
putting considerable pressure on<br />
manufacturing and supply chains.<br />
At Metalor, the redesigning of mate-<br />
rial flows has allowed production<br />
processes to speed up considerably.<br />
Greater efficiency and flexibility have<br />
been reached by delegating responsi-<br />
bility and decision making to autono-<br />
mous shop floor units. By adopting<br />
a quality assurance process, a num-<br />
ber of these units have consistently<br />
improved in-house quality. Last but<br />
not least, investments in machinery<br />
and software have helped us reduce<br />
drastically the “time to market” of<br />
new products.<br />
WaTches anD JeWelry Division<br />
The division offers its customers a<br />
refining service for their manufactur-<br />
ing scrap as well as managing their<br />
precious metal accounts. The reli-<br />
ability of this service is the result of<br />
a combination of know-how and<br />
unique skills that is proving to be of<br />
paramount importance to our cus-<br />
tomers.<br />
