Amidst the ongoing outbreak of the Coronavirus Soyang Europe has moved to reassure both its customers and the industry as a whole that its stock will remain available. It is currently business as usual at Soyang, both at in Europe and at its textile manufacturing partners at Soyang Technologies in China.
‘It has been a difficult time for our friends and partners over in China in the wake of the Coronavirus,’ said Soyang Europe’s managing director, Mark Mashiter. ‘However, we want to reassure all of our customers that our UK Distribution Centre currently has a stockholding of over 1,500,000sqm of material. Our stocks are controlled through an integrated management system which always factors in factory closures such as Chinese New Year or the European summer shut down, so we always have a buffer of two to three weeks with overstocks on fast running materials in case of spikes in business. It is for this reason and the efficiencies of our Chinese colleagues that our stock levels have not been affected during this difficult time.’
‘We are proactive with our supply chain and have guaranteed container space on ships booked for months in advance,’ Mr Mashiter concluded. ‘It is this forward planning along with stockholding that ensures continuity of product and service.’
Lisa Li, marketing manager at Soyang Technologies, added, ‘Over the past few months, owing to our great government control and medical measures, the industrial chain in China has recovered and our productivity achieved more than 95%. So far, no employee at Soyang Technologies is infected with the virus. You can rest assured that your orders are guaranteed both in time and quality. It has been a tough time for every country that suffers from COVID-19. Sending love and prayers to every one of you.’
Over the coming months Soyang Europe will be focusing on its PVC-free range, with new additions to its environmentally friendly printable textiles display materials, including blockout, backlit and 100% recycled polyesters.
