Introduction
In this report I will be writing about a company called Flambeau Europlast Ltd
whom is located in Ramsgate, Kent. Flambeau is a company created in the
Wisconsin, United States and is a family business. The business is named after
the Flambeau River as the person who created the business and its first product
– the frog – found it at the Flambeau River in Northern Wisconsin. Many people
would believe the company is French as the word Flambeau translates to ‘torch’
in French although it was started in the U.S.
“Flambeau specialises in the design and processing of blow moulded and
injection moulded parts from thermoplastic materials. We use these technical
polymer processing skills to manufacture our own products and trade mould
(contract mould) product from customer owned tooling. These products can be
decorated, assembled, retail packed and distributed globally dependent on
individual customer requirements.”
“"A great company starts with outstanding people."
At Flambeau we are driven by outstanding people; we recognise our people are
our most important asset for providing enduring and meaningful value to our
customers. We will continue to service and support all people, processes,
equipment and facilities in ways that enable us to realise our vision by achieving
our strategic goals. We know there is no room in a competitive world for poor
performance, and we actively seek out more efficient ways to exceed our
customers' expectations across the variety of global markets and sectors we
operate within.
We strive to develop and deliver quality products that are not only better in
design and function, but excite our customers and generate value for them. Our
product offering will be taken to fresh markets and new customers to generate
the business growth we desire.
Flambeau, supported by the Nordic Group, provides a platform for fresh
investment that enables the tradition of pioneering in new markets, products and
customer opportunities to be realised now and into the future.”
