Gaining firsthand insights into Rearo supplier operations
Rearo is a leading UK manufacturer and supplier of wall linings, toilet cubicles, vanity units, IPS systems, and solid surfaces, with a HQ and 67,000sq ft manufacturing site in Glasgow and branches in Northampton, Rosyth, Skelmersdale, and Washington.
On 24th May, Rhys Todd, Rearo CNC operator, and Jamie Campbell, Operations Manager, undertook a site visit to the Leitz Tooling UK Ltd service centre in Bellshill. The purpose of this visit was to gain a deeper understanding of the blade supplier's operations and compare their performance with other Rearo suppliers.
Leitz is a German-based saw blade manufacturer that supplies Rearo with blades and tooling for machines in their manufacturing facility in Govan, Glasgow.
The trip helped the Rearo team to get more of an understanding of how the blades are serviced and sharpened. At the same time, the service centre tour allowed them to see the machines and technology involved, which is always helpful. While there, Rhys and Jamie found it very noticeable that Leitz take great pride in what they do. The place was immaculate. It was also interesting to learn that they use the 5S management system for the housekeeping and organisational side of their process. This system is also used in the Rearo manufacturing plant.
Overall, the visit was highly beneficial. It reinforced Rearo's confidence in Leitz as a supplier and provided valuable insights into their meticulous processes and commitment to quality, which align with the standards at Rearo.
