Halcor ’ s Supply Chain Director Anastasia Toupali explains how innovation has brought resilience amid supply chain disruption
In an era of increasing supply chain difficulties and heightened demand for sustainable materials , industries face the challenge of adapting their operations to address pressure from both ends . Halcor , however , has navigated these challenges with resilience . Halcor specialises in producing , processing and marketing copper and copper alloy products .
This all-in-one approach has helped it become the leading copper tubes producer in Europe , Middle East and Africa .
As the copper & alloys extrusion division of ElvalHalcor SA , Halcor serves as a trusted business partner to equipment and parts manufacturers and wholesalers , distributing products to meet global demands . Despite the scope of its operations , Halcor has remained resilient in the face of supply chain disruption by implementing new solutions to innovate its operations .
A legacy of excellence For over eight decades , Halcor has been at the forefront of developing value-added solutions that address evolving client demands . Its products serve crucial sectors including plumbing , HVAC & R , renewable energy , architecture , engineering , and industrial manufacturing .
“ We operate with a customer-centric approach , aiming to increase our market share , penetrate new segments , and focus on international markets while investing in new and environmentally friendly products ,” states Anastasia Toupali , Supply Chain Director at Halcor .
This ethos of keeping a happy client is one of the reasons Anastasia occupies her position today . She joined Halcor around four years ago as Supply Chain Director , bringing with her more than 20 years ’ supply chain experience gained in manufacturing companies .
It was this experience she drew heavily upon as she set about rebuilding Halcor ’ s supply chain strategy .
Upon joining , Anastasia faced the challenge of creating a cohesive supply chain function from previously standalone departments . “ When I joined Halcor , the supply chain role as we know now didn ’ t exist ,” she recalls .
Anastasia , therefore , had the task of building the supply chain function at Halcor by integrating the related departments under one umbrella .
Today , the company has an end-to-end supply chain mentality .
Technology for the new times Halcor has implemented several strategic measures to not only address the challenges supply chains face , but to better optimise its operations .
One big challenge with supply chains is when an issue occurs at the source . Think back to Covid and access to PPE as an example , or the very recent Red Sea crisis .
