Reduced lead times
10 August 2016
Sandvik’s Distribution Center Venlo (DC Venlo) in the Netherlands has undergone a major refurbishment and upgrade project. The company has also also introduced new product lines and initiatives to advance its service provision for customers and reduce international lead times.

Originally opened in 2004, the 13,500m2 distribution centre is managed by a dedicated division within Sandvik which specialises in sourcing and logistics, warehousing and distribution of products for customers.
Customers benefit from DC Venlo’s efficient logistic setup and reduced lead times when ordering resistance wire. Kanthal resistance wire is supplied with bright annealed or oxidized surface depending on size and is available with insulation or coating. The Kanthal brand is characterized by consistent resistivity from delivery to delivery, facilitating trouble-free production.
