S . A . TALKE
220 better , more efficient and productive . We have regular meetings about safety , operations , optimisation and finance , for example , because the business is not standing still .
“ We manage and monitor every product individually . Every project stands for itself ,” he adds .
This continuous improvement is also having a knock-on effect on the company ’ s safety standards . In fact , in January , the Saudi firm achieved 6mn safe man-hours without Lost Time Injury ( LTI ) across all the company ’ s projects .
It ’ s a proud achievement , says Klingbeil , and one which he believes wouldn ’ t be possible without the company ’ s high safety standards .
“ We have a very dedicated safety department and a strong safety culture ,” he observes . “ Our safety standards and procedures are important to the firm . It starts with myself and we live this culture through every single person .
“ We ’ re always defining new ways and new parameters to make safety . This is the culture we uphold and live by every day . You don ’ t achieve 6mn man hours without LTI without this culture .”
The future of logistics is one which is paved with new innovation and technologies and this is also the case at S . A . TALKE .
Using automation and SAP software , for instance , S . A . TALKE is driving efficiency like never before .
“ Our core business always will be in the petrochemical market , that is what we do best . But we are also looking to explore other market segments ”
