The last few weeks have seen truck after truck rolling into FIBA Technologies’ Littleton, MA plant, delivering hundreds of pipes, the raw material for our high pressure gas storage vessels and trailers. A stock yard full of pipes is a sign of FIBA’s drive to streamline its supply chain and keep lead times down.
We are now more than a year into FIBA’s new supply chain regime, developed after the post-pandemic surge in critical raw material prices and supplies. This was coupled with transportation and logistics challenges which FIBA addressed by working closely with customers, suppliers and logistics experts.
The result saw FIBA implement flexible solutions that meet customer needs in a timely manner.
Specifically, FIBA has fostered flexible provider relationships, realigned its transportation systems and entered into a whole range of critical agreements that have resulted in a robust and reliable materials supply chain.
The visible result is that driveway full of trucks delivering pipe.
