What does Arkivator Machine Systems do?

It is vital for us to be resource-efficient, which applies from idea to finished product.

Materials selection, development, production methods, planning, quality, purchasing, inventory, and transport are all important processes that affect us a great deal. We are working to minimise all unnecessary handling in each process.

Our ambition is to constantly reduce the environmental impacts caused by our activities. Part of our approach is to work on the continual improvement of all aspects of our business.

Some examples of these initiatives include that we in cooperation with our suppliers use returnable packaging. We are also careful to choose the correct modes of transport. Our central location in Falköping and our selection of suppliers are as geographically close as possible thus reducing transport distances. Further improvements are facilitated with the newly established logistics centre close by.

A supplier strategy has been introduced with a classification system that is tasked with developing cooperation with each supplier. We are looking to find local suppliers for several reasons. Closeness simplifies everyday communication and transport is shorter, which reduces lead times as well as environmental impacts. Our strategy is to have the majority of production in house in order to reduce transport needs.
