HOWCO GROUP has successfully built a world-class materials management organization that provides a more powerful competitive strategy for its customers. Supported by advanced information technology and industry-leading processing capabilities, HOWCO GROUP has developed and incorporated the ‘best practice' aspects of techniques such as just-in-time supply, vendor rationalization and partnering. Beyond the rhetoric it is not business as usual. HOWCO GROUP is globally positioned to work closely with multinational customers, integrating supply, sharing information and taking cost out to improve competitive performance. Over the last twenty years Howco has built a reputation for quality, integrity and trust which provides customers with the confidence to plan long term. This close customer understanding combined with the group's unique supply chain management approach has enabled HOWCO GROUP to deliver lower total costs by reducing customer's capital commitments, transaction costs and operating expense. The acquisition of Energy Metals, a recognized leader in the distribution of nickel alloys, stainless steels, duplex, aluminum and carbon & alloy, not only strengthened Howco's traditional concentration on specialty materials but also helped to develop HOWCO GROUP's global positioning in the Far East, Europe and the USA. Today, the combined efforts of the group have been refocused to shape the organization for the future. HOWCO GROUP is ‘The Leader' in high-performing integrated supply arrangements. As experts in materials management, global procurement and product transformation HOWCO GROUP is now leveraging its vast experience and all round capability to expand its competitive advantage worldwide.
