My customer came to me with a question…
Could we quickly ramp up their fulfillment center so they could take on a large repackaging opportunity with a well-known, name-brand company?
THE CURRENT SITUATION
This customer needed an adhesive solution, equipment solution, and a financing solution...fast. Their fulfillment center was outdated and had worn out adhesive dispensing equipment. With this current setup, they feared they would not be capable of keeping up with the large volume demands that would come from this new business.
THE CALL TO HAR
The customer called me and I was there the next morning ready to assess the situation. I reassured them that we have seen outdated fulfillment centers many times before and if they were willing to trust HAR, we could meet all of their needs. They agreed.
I introduced them to our HAR Equipment Sales team, we listened to their requirements, and together we were able to provide them with an adhesive and equipment solution plan that surpassed their expectations.
THE ADHESIVE AND EQUIPMENT SOLUTION PLAN
To tackle this task quickly and effectively, we went with our MH3500 adhesive in pellet form. We coupled the adhesive with our 4KG and 8KG ITW Dynatec Simplicity Adhesive supply units and suggested that these units be automatically fed by the ITW Dynatec ADS 1 DynaFill™ Adhesive delivery system.
This system automatically replenishes the MH3500 adhesive to the desired level. A low-level indicator then sends a signal to the DynaFill™ that adhesive is needed which then activates a positive pressure suction that draws the adhesive and deposits it into the hot melt unit.
LET’S SEAL THE DEAL
This was a loyal customer who was willing to trust HAR, and in turn, we knew we could trust this customer. That’s why we agreed to amortize the cost of the equipment through their adhesive purchases over a two-year period. Our adhesive and equipment divisions worked closely together to install the equipment on our customer’s day off and we had them fully up and running in just a few days.
As their business continues to grow, we continue to access and add additional ITW units to the agreement. They are now buying all ITW brand replacement parts for their remaining Nordson units and the head of their maintenance department told me, “HAR and ITW have proven their value in support of our business.”
