EXPERTISE

Page 10: Lamex Brochure 2013

Lamex has long believed that representing a

manufacturer on imports or exports doesn't simply

mean selling their products in an overseas market.

Our commitment to customers means that a full

service technical appraisal takes place before we

ever consider loading goods to a customer.

As such our technical staff travel the world and are frequently

relocated. Our technical team is totally non commercial - if a plant

doesn't meet their requirements and the food safety standards they

demand, then offers don't even flow through to our sales team and we

simply will not work with unapproved plants.

Today when quality assurance is increasingly important, most buyers

have extensive in-house QA facilities, but it is far more robust to get it

right at the source, prior to shipment and to develop a technical trust

between ourselves, the buyer and the customer.

Technical Assurance

TaSome years ago Lamex took the

bold step of investing in

technical personnel, rather than

sales people. We believed our

blue chip customers were

looking for an extra dimension to

assist their buying, that global

procurement would grow and

become increasingly more

important. We were right.
