Russia
Expanding
our horizons
Exciting
times for Scott & Fyfe as we break into another country
with a sale for the Composites POD for
Polymat Hi
Flow, another example
of the Diversity
of our company
.
The
start of 2012 saw Scott & Fyfe making their first sale
into Russia with a significant order placed and paid for by
a prestigious Russian company.
This
company specialises in the production of fibreglass products
since 2002. Their brand is well known in all regions of Russia.
The
facility is equipped with modern apparatus and uses the world's
leading producers of raw materials, ensuring high quality
products are produced within its operations near St Petersburg.
Polymat
Hi Flow is
Innovation.
It has advantages of up to 50% reduction on fill time, ability
to handle high viscosity resins, ease of flow and fill for
large mouldings and control of finished part thickness. All
these are contributing factors in the decision to place an
order with us.
“This
is an exciting new opportunity for the Composites POD and
comes at a time when we are researching the Russian market
as a possible new region to promote and push our products.
Russia has a growing economy and presents strong opportunities
for Composite growth, something we are very eager to develop.
This new account provides confirmation that we are on the
right track. Well done to the team and all involved!”
Expanding
our horizons

McMullan, Operations Manager, Scott & Fyfe)

“Creating
Cultures for Innovation”
Scott
& Fyfe have recently started a collaboration with The
Glasgow School of Art in order to create a culture of sustainable
innovation.
A
cross-functional team of 13 Scott & Fyfe employees called
NOW. (New Opportunities Within) will take part in 13 design
innovation workshops delivered monthly in the form of 2-day
workshops over a 6-month period.
The
first workshop took place on 19th and 20th October in the
Centre for Design Innovation in Forres. The first 2 days went
over how the design process can be applied to maximise opportunity
spotting. The methods will be used within the organisation
to contribute to how Scott & Fyfe commercialise New Product
Ideas.
John
Lupton, Chief Executive said “At Scott and Fyfe we are very
proud of our legacy of customer service and new product delivery.
Today's dynamic and highly connected global market place accelerates
the need for faster, cheaper, better products and services.
Our competitors are tougher, smarter, and better equipped
than ever before, and they will only improve in future.
As
a small, proactive business, we cannot become a "me too"
player. We have to beat them at OUR own game, and the name
of that game is "innovation". Innovation distinguishes
the leader from the follower.
Innovation
only comes when Ideas meet Implementation: This is where the
NOW team come into their own.
The
team's clear remit is to drive market led, researched, insightful,
ideas through the organisation.
With
slowly diminishing sales of our heritage products, change
must come. It must come NOW.”
