H&K Delivers Solutions to IKEA!
IKEA is a world leader in home furnishings with good design and function with low prices. And when it comes to customer satisfaction, they are in a relentless search for ways to improve every customer's shopping experience. For convenience to the customer, one innovative approach that IKEA has taken is to provide high quality, dependable and competitively priced food service right in their store.
That's where H&K comes in…
IKEA needed a global solution for procurement of specific cooking and ventilation appliances and custom stainless steel fabricated equipment. They also needed a supplier who could meet their current store development demands, but have the capability to change gears and ramp up services to meet future and more aggressive store development. H&K was able to develop a flexible line of fabricated items and combined this with IKEA's global procurement and consolidation strengths. The results were a global solution to IKEA's challenge and they can now depend on a guaranteed supply of custom kitchen equipment and appliances to meet any of their expansion needs along with the flexibility they need to respond to design changes. This is a turnkey solution while maintaining competitive pricing…..worldwide.
H&K Canada was recognized as "Supplier of the Year" at an awards dinner hosted by McDonald's Restaurants of Canada Limited.
In their presentation of the inaugural development partner award, McDonald's stated that "This award recognizes H&K's total commitment to McDonald's Development Strategy" |
