We take various steps to ensure continuity of delivery:

1. Risk spreading and quality assurance

As a medium-sized company, we spread our production across different countries, factories and locations to effectively spread risks. We attach great importance to quality assurance and regularly carry out factory visits.

2. Flexibility in purchasing quantities

Compared to larger companies, we have the flexibility to adjust purchasing quantities, for example by changing container quantities, which gives us a competitive advantage.

3. Inventory flexibility

Part of our inventories are managed internally, making us exceptionally flexible in our supply chain. In case of significant growth in demand we offer air freight as an option, but always in consultation with the customer and with regular price revisions to compensate for the higher costs, taking into account sustainability considerations.

4. Strategic inventory strategy

Our inventory strategy is based on an average need of several months, with flexibility for exceptional situations. Our strong solvency enables us to quickly respond to changing demand patterns by immediately ordering, paying in advance and scaling up.

5. Accurate forecasting

To ensure that deliveries take place uninterrupted, Medica Europe maintains a safety stock for customer-specific end products. This inventory is accurately calculated based on your consumption patterns. In case of unexpected limitations in the availability of raw materials, Medica Europe can ensure that it is not completely dependent on one supplier, thanks to its diverse supplier network.

6. Continuous monitoring

Our purchasing department continuously monitors market developments at product locations and in transport through benchmarking. This way we remain proactive in ensuring an efficient and resilient supply chain.
