A world-leading supplier
Synthomer are a world-leading supplier of high-performance polymers and ingredients that play a vital role in construction, health and protection, adhesives and more. Their roots go back to 1863 and they operate across the UK, Europe, the Americas and Asia.
Their core values of teamwork, honesty and integrity, and innovation sit very closely with ours, so we are delighted to have supplied them with a fleet of brand-new TCM forklift trucks, stackers and pallet trucks.
Visiting our depot
Working closely with Leah French, our Sales Director Ian Roden and Sales and Commercial Manager David Smith put together a fleet of materials handling equipment to suit Synthomer's day-to-day operation.
We had the pleasure of hosting Kevin Langley, Graham Walker and Marc Johnson of Synthomer at our depot, where we presented them with their new machines. Ian Roden and our Service Director Alex Flowers showed how the trucks operate with live demonstrations.
A strategic investment in the future
“The recent delivery of new fleet marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to operational excellence and sustainability. The introduction of this modern fleet brings a host of benefits that will positively impact our logistics, safety and environmental performance.”
“We are particularly pleased with the local support provided by BJB, whose proximity and responsiveness has been instrumental in ensuring a smooth transition. Their hands-on approach, from vehicle specifications to delivery and aftercare, has been invaluable. For Synthomer, the fleet upgrade is more than just a logistical improvement; it's a strategic investment in our future.”
Partnership with a local family business
“We have worked closely with BJB over a number of months to establish clear protocols ready for the delivery of our new fleet of forklift trucks. BJB have been open, honest and professional throughout this process.”
“The hospitality offered at our recent visit to the Grimsby depot was greatly appreciated. We were introduced to all staff, who were friendly, informative and professional. We were shown around our new fleet, all controls explained, with a further check to see if we needed any alterations before the trucks were delivered. We very much look forward to working in partnership with a local family business.”
It's already a great partnership
“We have worked with the team at Synthomer very proactively and openly on this fleet replacement programme, so we have a clear understanding of how both businesses function, and it's already a great partnership. Updating the MHE fleet was straightforward, collaboratively ensuring specifications and functionality met expectation. What really excited us was being challenged to improve practices and mindsets on site in support of operational excellence. We look forward to continuously supporting Synthomer.”
