Trophies awarded at Midest in Paris are not stopped by border; exactly, like the Franco-German alliance Jores/Meca-Rectif winner of the "partnership-alliance” category. In a few years these two double surface grinding subcontracting companies have evolved from fierce competitors to partners working hand to hand to develop the market. Meeting with Mr. Torsten Jores and Philippe Chapé, the two CEO’s.
“We simply combined our forces to develop the market” says Mr. Jores. But behind this short sentence, the two companies had clearly to learn to know each other and collaborate. Mr. Chapé adds: “We do the prospection together and our offer is very well accepted as it is in the meaning of the ISO TS standard requesting to secure a second source”. And this is the genius of the two entrepreneurs. They offer a single interlocutor that guarantees two complementary sources of supply at once! The result? Increased sales and contracts that the companies would never have earned alone.
Same methods, machines, quality and prices Such an association can only work if customers can rely on a guaranteed consistency of quality regardless of the provenance of their parts! In this regard Mr. Jores says: “We have very similar machines pools and our visions of quality and service are the same. Our customers who have already experienced the double sources supply are convinced. We offer a fantastic service with very high quality consistency”. Today, the alliance of these two companies provides a global machinery pool for double face surface grinding unique in Europe. “We have a tool that allows us to set ambitious goals. Our aim is to become the European reference on double face surface grinding” adds Mr. Chapé.
What about customers? On paper this alliance has everything to please customers, but what do the customers think of both companies? Mr. Chapé concludes: “Our clients are not only looking for on time quality of production with attractive prices but they also want to secure their sourcing to face peaks of production and wish a second source of supply. We are the only one to offer such a global Service”. Significant asset for all high-tech industries, Jores/Meca-Rectif already serve many actors on the automotive industry, aeronautics, mechanical and electro-mechanical industries or even the household appliances industry.
