Honeywell Supplier Summit

In February, delegates from Bensons joined 66 other companies for Honeywell’s annual supplier summit. The two-day event, held in Warsaw, gave attendees from Honeywell’s top valued suppliers the opportunity to discuss the company’s supply chain strategy.

Hosted by Honeywell’s global procurement team, the event offered a fascinating insight into the challenges and opportunities presented to the company’s strategic suppliers.

The aim of the event was to allow suppliers to keep up to date with Honeywell’s business goals. During the summit Honeywell shared details of their technologies and solutions to improve performance and productivity across the supply chain.

During the event, attendees focussed on productivity – looking at ways to make the supply chain more competitive while reducing costs. Lead times for products was also an important topic with delegates looking at how to implement cost-effective inventory and stock-holding solutions.

Attending the event gave Bensons the opportunity to plan future collaborations with Honeywell, allowing us to continue our long-term, successful relationship.

Bensons’ director, Matthew Barton, attended the event and says: “During the event we heard about Honeywell’s plans for the future and were able to focus on how we can continue to provide innovative solutions at the most competitive cost for our clients.”
