BENEFITS OF BÖHLER’S SUPPLY CHAIN SOLUTION

RISK MITIGATION

BÖHLER’s supply chain solution helps manage risks. As BÖHLER is the entire supply chain, we ensure your product is produced and treated on time through every step of the supply chain.
We aim to be at ≥ 95% on time delivery, to ensure the product is on your floor and ready for use.

We take complete ownership of the steel manufacturing process, shipment, and inventory, so that you can rest assured your product meets the highest quality standards and on time delivery requirements.

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING PROCESS
The additive manufacturing process uses 3D data to manufacture components by adding layer upon layer of metal powder. Advantages of this technology include:
  • Ability to produce complex geometries (weight reduction, lattice structures)
  • Customized production, low warehousing costs, small batches
  • Short innovation/product development cycles
MATERIAL EXPERTISE

Material expertise and extensive experience in powder metallurgy within the division through BÖHLER and voestalpine Global Additive Manufacturing Centres.
