1: Building relationships with your suppliers
The hallmark of any exceptional business function is building around great relationships. We should pride ourselves in creating relationships with all members of the value chain such as suppliers of raw materials and packaging supplies such as paper cores and boxes. For perspective customers, this means we take the time to understand your company’s needs. We are not just order takers! What this also means is that we have decades old relationships with our suppliers and finishers. Our network of relationships means we can rely on quality from all our favorite partners.
2: Proven Quality
Trust is about ensuring our partners will act reliably, and develop a mutual understanding that the product we receive is exactly to its specifications. Having worked with such a variety of suppliers for the last 40+ years, we understand who is capable of being a reliable supplier in the global textile industry.
3: Communication – Early and Often
At Schott Textiles, our sales process involves discussion of the end application developing a thorough understanding of the product necessary to get the job done. As the saying goes, “Prescription without diagnosis is malpractice.” We want to make sure that the product you receive is the one best suited for your job. If additional dying, finishing, re-rolling, double + folding, or even specific industry certifications are necessary (Government/Fire Retarding Specifications etc.) we want to have the discussions up-front and find those opportunities as early as possible.
