SDI GROUP UK AND FACEO AGREE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
Integrated maintenance approach to drive down costs by up to 15 per cent
SDI Group UK, the leading specialist in the provision of integrated materials handling solutions, has entered into a partnership with European facility management group Faceo to enable the company to provide total site and warehouse maintenance packages with savings of up to 15 per cent on a company’s existing outsourced costs. Under the agreement, SDI Group UK will work closely with Faceo to offer a complete range of services to customers including all automation and facilities maintenance, repairs and legislative requirements. This new maintenance solution will enable customers to have a single point of contact for all site-related issues, removing the need to manage multiple contractors and reducing the associated administrative burden.
Furthermore, SDI Group UK will be able to utilise the new partnership to drive down maintenance costs through multi-skilling, supplier reduction, efficient management control and added purchasing power. Nathan Goudie, UK Maintenance General Manager at SDI Group UK commented: “Traditionally, the service provider taking care of warehouse automation would not get involved with the maintenance of the facility. However, at SDI we are continually looking at ways to support our customers’ operations, and this agreement with Faceo will provide an opportunity to save both time and money.” Edward Macfarlane, UK Commercial Director at Faceo said: “SDI Group UK is a proven industry leader in the design, development and ongoing maintenance of automated materials handling solution, so we are delighted that they have selected Faceo as a strategic partner. Faceo has an established track record in the provision of high quality facility management services and we look forward to working closely with SDI to add value to their customers’ businesses.”
