Zwick principle of efficiency
Maximum stainless steel trading efficiency for your success

Our customers are in a dynamic competitive environment which may call for swift action. Thanks to our high level of efficiency, we support our customers promptly and effectively, enabling them to perform excellently in their market.
Our particularly pronounced efficiency is the synthesis of optimised workflows and modern equipment, carefully considered logistics and our comprehensive digitalisation.

We aspire to reliably supplying our customers with the stainless steel products they want in as short a time as possible. Our approach here is founded on comprehensively considered processes. To take loading as an example, our centrally managed lorry coordination guarantees rapid handling. Lowered loading bays in our warehouses afford optimum access to the lorry beds. In combination with indoor cranes that include crane hooks specifically optimised for sheet transport, this allows for extremely material-friendly and fast loading. We have linked these internal processes to a Europe-wide network of solid logistics partners for the fast and reliable delivery of goods.

Alongside the physical work and logistics processes, our IT department has also developed digital workflows which are tailored to our needs, ranging from EDI connections with our customers and suppliers to a special material and order overview. Our employees are therefore able to provide our customers with information at all times. We additionally ensure high dispatch reliability with order-specific confirmation scans of the individually labelled packages in the loading process.

Digital as a matter of principle

Digital workflows are a great help when things need to be quick. For example, when customers need to place a follow-up order at short notice due to a change in their order situation. While the customer is still on the line, we check the availability of the goods, log the order and pass it on directly to the Shipping department. Together with our logistics partners, the material can then be delivered within 24 to 72 hours within Europe.
