EPS Group and MWH Treatment undertook respective reviews of the Tier 2/OEM Product Supply Market in 2012 including the competitive nature of their relationship as both operated in the same commercial space. We asked ourselves and each other, “Do we continue as Competitors and continue to compete in the traditional manner or do we Collaborate and re-shape the market to offer greater value to common customers and develop improved business sustainability?” Courage succeeded over complacency in the answer to this question and both organisations entered a period of exploratory working to consider further, the economic merits of Collaboration in support of a reinvigorated supplier model. The outcome of our initial analysis concluded that a shift from incumbent, respective operating models to one where an integrated approach across core strengths of Capital Programme Management and in-house Design & LEAN Manufacturing Capability would add most value to customers seeking robust and resilient assets. A period of intense due diligence followed culminating in 2013 in an integrated business case for the formation of a novel Collaboration; a Fully Integrated Joint Venture, called meps.
There has been much talk about deeper integration across supply chains within the Regulated Water Sector for a number of years - we have shifted from the talking masses, to the doing and have now created a bold platform for the delivery of mission critical MEICA Products based on Modular Standardised Design and Off Site LEAN Manufacture - taking Thought Leadership in this arena to an all new level.
meps offer a genuine alternative - we encourage you to consider our core strengths and value differentiators over your incumbent supply chain - with the right collective behaviours and conditions, we are convinced we can forge a leading partnership together for the benefit of your customers.
