Next day delivery from the biggest ‘shop’ in Kent


Since the 1st April announcement of the merger of Component Force into Sinclair & Rush after their acquisition, senior management teams have been busy optimising their joint resources. But this is not the usual post-acquisition rationalisation through cuts, closures and severance. This is an exercise in positive optimisation of joint skills and resources.

For this business, bigger really is better.

By combining manufacturing and customer services into the Maidstone site and sales, stock and distribution to the Rochester site, the joint resources of both will be co-located from July to better serve customers needs across the UK and Europe.

Sinclair & Rush has become a ‘one stop shop’ for products to Protect, Package and Finish manufacturers’ and distributors’ components, work in progress and stock in store and transit.

SHOP NOW is the joint message on each corporate and satellite website. And, for products held in stock – and that’s what we technically call ‘a heck of a lot’ – for orders placed today, you get the goods tomorrow. That is ‘next day delivery from the biggest shop in Kent’.

 
So just what can be found in this ‘shop’?

This is what it says above the entrance to this virtual shop:

“Sinclair & Rush now incorporate Component Force, creating the biggest single source of Protection, Packaging and Finishing products in Europe, offering specialist plastics manufacturing operations supply OEMs and distributors with dip and injection moulded plastic, rubber & nylon caps, plugs, sleeves and hand grips from stock and engineered to bespoke order.  We also stock and supply clear plastic boxes, clamshells and tubes for packaging; and huge varieties of tube inserts, feet, castors, wheels, hinges, fastenings, locks and latches for finishing.”

And what does this mean for customers?

The important thing for existing clients who have been used to exemplary service, perfect product, competitive pricing and helpful problem diagnosis and solution – there’s no change.

For new clients, well, you'll gain the benefits that existing clients already enjoy: exemplary service, perfect product, competitive pricing and helpful problem diagnosis and solution.

If you have:
  • a tube that needs a liner;
  • a leg that needs a foot;
  • two components that need a hinge;
  • a garden tools you manufacture that need grips to enhance the product / brand;
  • or if you are a global engine manufacturer needing to plug and protect vital components from invasive swarf or heat treatment;
  • a distributor wanting bold branding and clear instructions on plastic point of sale packaging;
  • an engineering company needing bespoke plastic dip moulded caps, sleeves or plugs …
