Supply chain stability is vital for every business, and it is something Carl F Groupco more than delivers. Owen Coop, CEO of Carl F Groupco, explains: “The company was founded in the 1950s, demonstrating our longevity and stability, but our strength stretches far beyond just the years we have been established. It extends to every part of our operation and adds real value to our offer to customers.”
The Carl F Groupco team has great stability. Twenty-three employees have worked for the company for more than 10 years, the longest-serving member has been with the business for 40 years. This great depth of knowledge and experience creates a collaborative approach, that customers tap into and enjoy.
Julie Warner, Roto Product Manager and Pamela Wilson, Regional Sales Manager for Scotland, have over 60 years of industry experience between them and have worked together at Carl F Groupco since 2001. Julie says: “We have not looked back since we first joined forces over 20 years ago! We strive to make everyone aware of Carl F Groupco as a business that has stood the test of time and between us, we have built strong longstanding customer relationships.”
As the market evolves, Carl F Groupco remains ahead of the curve by continually adapting and innovating. “The company has always recognised that staying relevant in a dynamic industry requires more than just experience” says Julie, “it requires a proactive approach to anticipating and meeting the changing needs of customers. This forward-thinking ensures we continue to set the standard for excellence in the hardware sector.”
Supplier relationships are similarly strong, bringing further value. For many years Carl F Groupco has partnered with Roto and is one of the UK’s largest stockists of Roto hardware. The strength and stability of this relationship gives Carl F Groupco the opportunity to collaborate on product development, helping to give UK fabricators and installers the hardware features they need.
Steadfast staff and suppliers lead directly to customer loyalty. Six of the company’s top ten fabricator customers have been sourcing from Carl F Groupco for over 20 years. In a world where shopping around is second nature, this speaks volumes about the company and what it offers.
Owen concludes: “In a market where uncertainty often prevails, our stability makes Carl F Groupco the reliable choice of hardware partner.”
