Scandic Sourcing delivered an exemplary solution for Alfa Laval’s complex sourcing challenge. Faced with a specialized material requirement for duplex stainless steel, which wasn’t part of Alfa Laval’s standard range, Scandic Sourcing successfully navigated constraints such as material unavailability, dimensional precision, and limited market options.

Structured Supplier Search: The team conducted a thorough technical analysis of Alfa Laval’s specifications, ensuring complete alignment with their needs.

Precise Sourcing Profile Development: Scandic Sourcing developed a targeted sourcing profile that identified manufacturers with the capability to machine duplex stainless steel to exact dimensions.

Effective Market Survey: Leveraging industry databases, supplier networks, and direct outreach, Scandic Sourcing expanded the supplier pool and identified five qualified suppliers who could deliver the required components to specification.

As a result, Alfa Laval was able to secure the specialized material it needed, ensuring compliance with stringent corrosion resistance requirements, and maintaining the high standards their customers expect. This effort exemplifies Scandic Sourcing's ability to overcome sourcing challenges and deliver tailored solutions in a complex, niche market.
