IPA in the port of Malaga.

TERMINALES DEL SUDESTE (TDS), a majority-owned subsidiary of Dragados Servicios Portuarios y Logísticos, which belongs to the ACS group, has contracted our integral IPA (Integration of Auxiliary Products) service for managing the purchase and supply of auxiliary products for its maintenance warehouse.

TDS is a concessionary in the multi-purpose terminal for loading and unloading in the port of Malaga, and it has a volume of container movement (TEUs) of over 500,000 per year.

The initial duration of the contract is for 3 years and one person will be employed to work in the company’s installations to manage the warehouse. The contract includes the following groups of auxiliary products:

Fluids
Ppes
Work clothing
Welding material
Adhesives
Cutting tools
Cutting / abrasion
Hand tools
Metrology
Cabinets
Electrical material
Mechanical material
Cleaning material
General hardware
Plumming material
Hydraulic/pneumatic material
Die-stamping
Safety products
Paint
Specific replacement parts

TDS is currently constructing new facilities for central offices, access to the terminal and maintenance workshops, which as can be seen in the photo, includes an area for the new warehouse for materials to be developed from scratch by MP, drawing on the company’s experience in this type of project.

IPA is now one of the strategic activities of the Supplier Industry for establishing business relationships with potential clients for providing a solution to a general need within the industry

 

The implementation plan, which it is anticipated will be carried out this year, is expected to begin in March 2008.



As a result of this contract and previous projects, IPA is now one of the strategic activities of the Supplier Industry for establishing business relationships with potential new clients for providing a solution to a general need within the industry, and has become the per fect complement to our INDUSTRIAL MAINTENANCE service (we call it INTEGRAL INDUSTRIAL SERVICE).

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the management of TDS for placing its trust in MP, and especially for the assistance from Mr. Jorge Martín (Technical Director), and we hope to meet the objectives set, thereby ensuring the satisfaction of TDS, so that we may provide IPA services in other terminals of the DRAGADOS group in Spain.
