Customer Can Expect
Utility Metals, in the metals and plastics industry, aims to:
fully and effectively cover end user international purchasing / importing needs in terms of supply, quality and cost and at the same time satisfying export needs of the supplying companies.
It follows a different approach than the way the market operates in the last decades.
It acts as a drop shipper, delivering non ferrous, ferrous metals and engineering plastics to end users
in a very diverse and large range of industries ranging from architecture to defense.
Products originate mainly from West European mills and stockholders.
For every single order the approach is to meet end user demands in price, product availability, range of product choices, quality, delivery time, marking, packing, cutting tolerances, demands in technical standards, international product certification and compliance with international export control regulations.
Suppliers enjoy a larger clientele for their products. The larger product variety and competitive prices they can offer, the better sales they can expect without the need to change or disrupt any of their export strategy, without having to commit to foreign representations and without payment risks
They have the ability to react at will meeting international and local market conditions.
Suppliers do absolutely control their pricing knowing that their products won't reach end users with large price variations therefore remain price competitive.
They can export in full compliance with international regulations as Utility Metals
follows a very strict trade compliance policy
Regarding end users, Utility Metals serves two kinds of customers.
Purchasing Departments in larger corporations
or small business owners who do not have a dedicated
purchasing department.
Small business owners do not have the time to deal
with materials sourcing for their imports. With U.M. they have a first class service as they would have by employing an experienced employee for the purchasing.
Business owners can now compete in equal terms with larger businesses because they can get prime quality materials in very competitive prices without having extra labor cost.
In fact the owners outsource their importing purchasing activity same way they use an accounting or law firm for accounting or for legal matters.
For its service U.M. charges at competitive rates so the owner knows does not have extra cost layers that would disrupt his production costs.
Customers with purchasing departments in larger corporation do source their materials in their traditional international suppliers but there are always problems
in availability , in ability for their suppliers to group order products from their internal network or from their competition and if they do again prices many times increase,
in prices as domestic conditions force some times suppliers to change export prices,
in their effort to group different materials from different suppliers in a single order
and in export compliance as export compliance policy may differ from one export country to another
Additionally each purchasing manager wants to fully satisfy the needs of all of the other
departments ( production, quality, legal etc. ) without excluding anyone.
Utility Metals comes to meet the problems the purchasing departments face and act as a s cooperating department
for them rather than a trading company aiming to win larger profit at the time the purchasing company needs the
assistance by a suppler most.
Today, Utility Metals invests in the future by building an online shop with multiple product categories,
addressing to a large number of countries and to most industries and at the same time following an online export compliance policy.
