In 2024, we proudly received the Best Project Management award from Makita in their annual supplier awards. This recognition marked a significant milestone for the Flambeau Europe team and reaffirmed our leadership in UK injection moulding.
Presented at Makita’s European Procurement Headquarters in Hamburg, the award highlighted our successful collaboration on the high-volume production of injection moulded case assemblies. These cases are used across a range of Makita power tools, including drills, saws, planers, and grinders.
A Testament to Precision, Reliability, and Delivery
At Flambeau, we’ve earned a reputation for delivering precision-engineered, customer-focused plastic solutions. Our work in winning Makita’s confidence showcases this commitment in action. The injection moulded cases we manufacture serve as durable, functional tool storage systems that protect tools not only during transit but also protect the tool across its working life and beyond across Makita’s global marketplaces.
What made this project exceptional wasn’t just the complexity or scale; it was the way our teams collaborated. Our Quality, Technical, Operations, and Logistics teams coordinated seamlessly, ensuring every component met exact specifications and arrived on time to give outstanding quality day in and day out.
That success stemmed directly from our core values. Teamwork enabled smooth communication across departments. Integrity drove honest, open dialogue with all stakeholders. We stayed focused on continuous improvement by embracing Knowledge, allowing us to innovate and refine our processes at every stage.
At the same time, our pursuit of Excellence kept standards high and results consistent. We approached challenges with a Family-first mindset, fostering mutual support and shared pride across the team. And by encouraging Leadership at every level, we empowered individuals to take initiative and raise the bar.
This project didn’t just meet expectations, it embodied our values and demonstrated how we operate as one unified team. The recognition from Makita validated the results, but the real achievement lies in how we delivered them.
