Superior supplies for engineers – MACH 2022

MSC industrial Supply Co. (MSC), a leading national supplier of metalworking and maintenance repair operations (MRO) products and services will have a packed stand at this year’s MACH.

As a supplier of over 120,000 metalworking safety and MRO products, MSC puts product supply, added value services and industry leading engineering support at the heart of its customer service.

Customers benefit from consolidated purchases, access to over 500 industry-leading brands, online purchasing controls and just in time delivery. With solutions designed for specific business needs. MSC helps manufacturers and engineering firms with documented cost savings, apprenticeship consultancy, and proactive change management – all resulting in greater control and cost reductions.

At the NEC, MSC’s stand will display a deconstructed aerospace engine. The jet engine assembly showcases the complex mix of product applications from a variety of aerospace grade alloys that are typically produced by leading aerospace manufacturers in the UK.

Each year along with supplying products, MSC supports aerospace manufacturers producing similar components with its engineering expertise. Visitors can expect to learn about the ongoing cost savings and cost down initiatives that MSC delivers year in year out supporting its customers with their long-term goals.

The company’s experienced engineering team will be on hand on the stand throughout the event. Visitors can expect more than product and price-based conversations – the team will be showcasing real world examples of how MSC has partnered with manufacturers to improve processes and manufacturing capabilities as well as sharing unbiased engineering advice on everything from continuous improvement and cost reduction activities, to providing foundations for the digital shopfloor of the future.

MSC sees its role as more than a high service level distributor of industrial products. That's why when visitors visit MSC at MACH they will learn how its partner Next Gen Makers can support engineering and manufacturing businesses on how to better plan for attracting and retaining apprentices.

Completing the stand is MSC's ControlPoint inventory management solution for the consolidated purchase of tooling, PPE and consumables using on site vending machines which allow customers to have 24/7 access to products without having to leave the factory floor.

The service also integrates bespoke reporting for accountability, visibility and control. Visitors to the stand can learn how this increase in visibility and control not only boosts productivity but also reduces cost with a claimed 20 to 40% reduction in tooling consumption.

Dave Darby, managing director at MSC, says: “We are really looking forward to MACH and showcasing why manufacturing and engineering businesses should expect more from their supply partners.

“A strong partnership should not just be about products and price; a supply partner should be supporting businesses to innovate, become more efficient and ultimately more financially secure especially during these challenging times.”
