Arrow Solutions was praised for the performance of its cleaning solutions, its manufacturing facilities and its health and safety record during a high profile visit from the Industrial Cleaning Association of China (ICAC).
Delegates from 18 companies were given a guided tour of the company’s facility in Moira and a detailed presentation into the firm’s desire to grow its presence in the Far East. The group, which spent ten days in the UK, also received firsthand experience of the technical capabilities of some of Arrow’s key products.
Jonathan Lane, sales director at Arrow Solutions, said: “We were the only chemical manufacturer that the delegation chose to visit during their stay and that is a massive seal of approval for what we are trying to do.
“As a state-backed organisation with over 600 members, ICAC is very influential in China and it has a very pro-active approach to improving the quality standards and environmental performance of the sector it represents.
“There was a lot of interest in our processes, our ability to deliver new solutions and our track record in supporting clients in aerospace, rail, oil and gas and heavy engineering.”
The delegation was arranged to mark Arrow’s first birthday of its Shanghai operation, which provides sales, technical and warehousing functions to in the Far East.
Ma Chunling, deputy secretary general of ICAC, said: “This was a very interesting trip for our members as they got to see a world class manufacturing facility and how Arrow produce cleaning and maintenance solutions that could be really important to firms operating in China.
“We were very impressed with the processes it has in place and the way it values its workers, who are crucial to what the company does. This initial visit will hopefully create a platform for our members to build relationships with Arrow and explore ways where they can use the technology to improve cleaning and environmental performance.”
