For over 45 years, NUTEC has been a leading innovator in thermal solutions and highly specialized industrial furnaces for a wide range of industries. The group of companies operates in more than 50 countries around the world. Managing the IT infrastructure, particularly across its many international sites, was a time-consuming challenge, as was procuring devices as required and maintaining an overview of the inventory. That all changed when NUTEC turned to CHG-MERIDIAN for a tailored service that offers flexible management, detailed financial control, and straightforward reporting.
At its six production sites in Europe, North America, and South America, NUTEC manufactures a wide range of high-performance thermal insulation solutions, high-temperature insulation and passive fire protection products, and specialized vacuum-formed parts. These are used in the aerospace industry, in the construction sector, in foundries, in power generation, and in the transportation sector, among others. NUTEC already leased the servers, laptops, and desktops it uses in production and administration. But the ever-growing number of assets made it increasingly difficult to keep track of the individual devices and monitor their leasing plans. What’s more, the complex processes were time-consuming and generated a lot of administrative overhead.
NUTEC initially trialed the services, including the centralization of information, at its three sites in Mexico. CHG-MERIDIAN’s end-to-end solution proved so successful that NUTEC is planning to introduce it as best practice at its other sites. International IT procurement based on uniform standards will reduce complexity and make it easier to adhere to rules across the group. Thanks to its global presence in 30 countries and considerable experience in international order processes, CHG-MERIDIAN can ensure that importing devices, for example, is also straightforward. Given the high potential for further optimization, NUTEC hopes to expand its partnership with CHG-MERIDIAN at regional level and expand the solution to include logistics equipment.
