Kinder & Co Awarded 2008 Supplier of the Year
Being awarded 2008 Supplier of the year was a proud moment for Kinder & Co. reports PAUL NUTTER, Engineered Marketing.
AT the third annual Australian Bulk Handling Awards, held in Sydney on 26 November 2008, Kinder & Co founder and Managing Director, Neil Kinder and Christine Kinder, proudly received the 2008 Supplier of the Year Award, presented in recognition of exemplary service, performance and customer commitment by a supplier to the Australian bulk handling sector.
Established in 1985, Kinder and Co is still a privately owned, family operated business, which has today grown to become a leading independent supplier and manufacturer of end-to-end solutions for the mining and manufacturing industry in Australia.
As a company that places family values as a high priority, company founders Neil (Managing Director) and Christine Kinder (Marketing Services Manager), are still very much a part of the day-to-day operations of the business, guiding the staff and sharing their own family values to build a culture that has been the envy of the industry for over 20 years.
“With an intimate understanding of the heavy process industry, our constant contact with the maintenance, planning and procurement specialists of our customers, keeps us tuned in to their every need” says Neil. “This has led us to become a solution driven company, offering lateral and out-of-the-box thinking, as we build ongoing partnerships with our customers.”
Committed to ‘corporate citizenship’, Kinder & Co has been busy initiating and implementing many new initiatives. This includes a greater environmental awareness, with an ongoing commitment to the introduction of environmentally friendly, longer life products and taking a proactive stance to choose sustainable and recyclable products.
This commitment also led to the introduction of what is believed to be an industry first initiative. Once plastic components supplied by the company come to the end of their life cycle, by arrangement, clean and palletised components can be returned for recycling. This “cradle-to cradle” solution prevents Kinder plastic conveyor components from ending up on a landfill tip.
With a continuous commitment to improve supply lines and support growing industries with reliable and on-demand parts and solutions, Kinder & Co now offers the most comprehensive range of stock belt conveyor hardware in Australia.
Looking towards the next 20 years, Neil Kinder said “we will remain committed to serving our customers and supporting the local industry, by being innovative and offering global solutions, introducing new product efficiencies, focusing on environmental benefits and continuing to strive for the service excellence our customers have come to expect.”
