In today's competitive markets, the cost of materials is seen as being of prime importance. All too often this is equated directly with purchase price and many expensive mistakes have been made when development costs, quality, storage and stock control are allowed to take a back seat.
PCC's policy of close involvement with its customers enables the company to identify their needs and take an overall view of the likely material overhead - from the selection of the correct components for a new application, through initial production trials to the final utilisation of slit patterns and likely stock holding requirements.
This policy of involvement also extends to PCC's suppliers, the manufacturers of their face materials, adhesives and release liners. By working closely with these suppliers, PCC continuously develops its knowledge, enabling the company to respond to market trends, identifying and circumventing potential production problems and adapting to a dynamic market.
