Print giant Polestar has signed a five-year agreement with Eriks Integrated Solutions for MRO (maintenance, repair, overhaul) procurement and stores management at its five largest sites in the UK.

Polestar awards five year MRO contract to EriksKaren Caruso, group purchasing director at Polestar, says the new contract will allow the company's plants to benefit both commercially and operationally – enabling, for example, 5S stores management, technical innovation, inventory reduction and critical spares sharing.

"We were looking to move away from the traditional customer/supplier relationship and enter into a long-term partnership with a business that could clearly demonstrate a good track record in this field," explains Caruso.

"Eriks were able to show us a wide variety of successful contracts across a number of industry sectors, and that gave us the confidence we needed to make this major step," adds Janet Kenyon, group projects director at Polestar.
