Karla Van Ryckeghem, Sales Director for Pentair Foodservice in Europe, reflects on a year of helping an industry get back on its feet, while looking for business in new places.
A partial meltdown of the global supply chain brought chaos in 2021. Fuelled by unprecedented consumer demand during COVID, everything had buckled under the strain. From raw materials to shipping containers, from dockyard space to warehouse capacity, everything was in short supply. Worldwide, manufacturers struggled to deliver. However, being geographically close to customers can give producers more control and help keep them wheels of industry turning.
Maintaining a thriving manufacturing sector remains a priority of the EU economic policy. However, in the past, advances in global logistics along with low trade barriers have seen more and more manufacturing being relocated to lower wage economies. Whether in research, production or logistics, Europe has lost share, while others have gained.
2021 witnessed many supply challenges but the relocation of Erie softener manufacturing into Pentair’s European Centres of Excellence can be seen as a success for both Pentair and its customers.
