Long-term collaboration
Fabory and Alprokon work together to respond to supply challenges as they arise.
The challenge: keeping production supplied with fasteners
For a manufacturing operation, the availability of everyday fasteners can have a direct impact on the smooth running of assembly activities. Alprokon needs its technicians to have access to the required bolts and nuts without having to focus on continually managing fastener stock themselves.
The objective is therefore straightforward: maintain appropriate fastener availability and support production continuity while allowing Alprokon to concentrate on its core activities.
The solution: proactive fastener inventory management
Since 2000, Alprokon has worked with Fabory to manage its fastener inventory. Fabory proactively manages stock so that the bolts and nuts required by Alprokon's technicians remain available when needed.
This approach reduces the amount of attention Alprokon needs to give to day-to-day fastener replenishment and helps support continuity within the production environment.
The collaboration reflects the principles behind Fabory Logic: helping manufacturers manage fastener and C-part availability through structured inventory and replenishment solutions.
How the collaboration works
1. Stock requirements
Fasteners required for Alprokon's production activities form part of the managed inventory.
2. Proactive management
Fabory manages stock and replenishment to help maintain the required fastener availability.
3. Fasteners available
Technicians have access to the bolts and nuts needed for their production activities.
4. Ongoing collaboration
Fabory and Alprokon work together when supply or operational challenges need to be resolved.
Supporting production continuity
By taking a proactive approach to fastener stock management, Fabory helps Alprokon reduce the risk of shortages disrupting its production activities. This allows Alprokon's teams to focus more closely on their core work rather than routinely managing the availability of bolts and nuts.
The partnership has also proved resilient over time. Both companies highlight the importance of communication, flexibility and working together when challenges arise.
