As DuraPlas' CEO Beaude Sahm says, "All of (DuraPlas') products have one thing in common: we make it easier for our customers to do business."
From industries as diverse as agriculture and poultry to construction and energy, DuraPlas offers a wide range of products that help companies across verticals do their jobs better. That includes Elementos Industriales, a Central American material handling supplier.
Stationed in El Salvador and supplying mechanical components to customers across the world, Elementos Industriales is a strategic partner in the region that provides timely mechanical solutions through a highly committed technical team. As the business grew and more clients turned to Elementos Industriales for power transmission and material handling solutions, the team knew they needed a partner that could help the organization scale. That's why Elementos Industriales partnered with DuraPlas.
Here's how DuraPlas worked alongside Elementos Industriales to elevate operations and how we can do the same for your business.
Since 2004, Elementos Industriales has provided mechanical solutions for many clients, especially in the material handling industry. Elementos Industriales' products include:
In addition to transmission components, Elementos Industriales also handles turnkey projects for its customers, offering metal structures and assemblies with machining techniques such as:
Elementos Industriales' services are particularly useful in the material handling industry, where durable mechanical parts are essential for hauling inventory of all types. As demand grew, Elementos Industriales knew it needed an OEM partner with the products and infrastructure that could scale with it.
In addition to improving scalability, Elementos Industriales needed to prepare for potential logistical challenges. Global supply chains are already complex, and any bottlenecks could delay lead times and turn future clients away. Elementos Industriales needed a material handling partner with a resilient supply chain that could deliver products on time.
Some of Elementos Industriales' customers faced issues with durability, so a rugged product was as essential as a robust supply chain.
In the search for an all-American provider that prioritized ruggedness in their products, DuraPlas emerged as the answer.
At DuraPlas, we pride ourselves on providing the highest quality products on schedule, no matter what. We value resilient supply chains and rugged supplies. When Elementos Industriales learned about our selection of durable, high-capacity elevator buckets and our proven logistical network, our interests aligned, and a partnership formed.
As an industry leader in material handling components, DuraPlas has the supply network in place to reach customers worldwide. Our North American–made products are built for maximum durability, and our established supply chain has the resiliency and global reach to overcome modern logistics complexities.
Our infrastructure enabled us to shorten the shipping lead time for our products to the window that Elementos Industriales required. As a result, our elevator buckets and belts reached their customers fast enough to reduce downtime, even as Elementos Industriales onboarded new clients.
Thanks to the partnership with DuraPlas, Elementos Industriales successfully scaled operations.
Elementos Industriales serves customers from many industries, and DuraPlas provides elevator buckets and belts that meet all customers' needs. Different clients prioritize features like durability, capacity, geometry, washability, and food-grade compliance in an elevator bucket solution, so a wide selection is critical. Fortunately, our Maxi-Lift elevator buckets deliver exactly that.
To meet customers' diverse needs, Elementos Industriales purchased a range of DuraPlas products, including:
Because elevator buckets alone aren't enough to move customers' materials, Elementos Industriales also needed a range of elevator belts and components. We offered:
With such a vast array of buckets and elevator components, DuraPlas has what it takes to help Elementos Industriales fill customers' orders.
Elementos Industriales places a premium on customer service and wants an elevator bucket provider that does the same. The team is especially pleased with DuraPlas' dedicated support personnel, citing our prompt response when they need assistance. According to sales retailer Luis Cerritos, our support specialist Luis was "very effective" and always there to answer questions, solve problems, and provide guidance on industry requirements.
Between DuraPlas' comprehensive selection of elevator components, robust logistical network, and commitment to personal support, Elementos Industriales found a partner that had both the durable products and the supply chain necessary to deliver mechanical solutions to customers across the region.
After choosing DuraPlas as its elevator bucket supplier, Elementos Industriales shortened lead times to customers amid challenging supply chain conditions and delivered durable, high-capacity buckets up to the task of holding customers' biggest hauls.
A resilient supply chain, an expansive inventory, and dedicated customer care — that's the DuraPlas way. Our industry expertise and end-to-end elevator bucket support helped Elementos Industriales continue to support its growing clientele. What can we do for you? Contact us today to find out.
