Consignment Stock

The pressure for efficient and cost effective handling of essential spares for your equipment has resulted in consignment stock becoming the standard approach adopted by many major processors and their suppliers. Consignment stock is ideal for large volume users, it anticipates the need for spares and Wire Belt makes these spares available on site for immediate use.  The first step is to agree the amount of consignment stock for each piece of equipment and is based upon a typical 3 month usage, a consignment agreement created and the stock is delivered to site, only when the stock is used and replaced will a charge be made.
