In the dynamic world of manufacturing, every second counts. Whether you are a maintenance professional tasked with keeping operations running smoothly or an engineer designing a new system, partnering with the right original equipment manufacturer (OEM) can make all the difference.
What does it mean to be vertically integrated?
Vertical integration refers to a company's control over various stages of production, from raw materials to distribution. It allows for greater control over lead times, quality, and flexibility. This can play a huge role in a company’s ability to quickly manufacture solutions and replacement parts to keep their customer running.
Picture this: a seamless collaboration with an OEM that feels more like an extension of your team rather than just a supplier. At Morrison, this isn't just a goal—it's our standard. Let's delve into 5 examples that showcase the value of partnering with a vertically integrated OEM like Morrison.
