The Gallis Award recognizes the ORBIS Supplier of the Month and is conferred upon suppliers and individuals that have proactively stepped-up to take whatever actions are necessary to support the ORBIS Value Proposition. The ORBIS Value Proposition is our commitment to provide the Highest Level of Quality, Service, and On-time Delivery, with Flawless Execution.
Morgan Geib and the entire team of MP Metal Products are hereby recognized as the recipients of the ORBIS "Supplier of the Month Gallis Award" for January 2020. The award is being presented to MP Metal Products because of their level of quality and service with production of roll-formed steel parts.
MP Metal Products is a new supplier to ORBIS of roll-formed steel parts (e.g., steel fork strap bars used in bulk bases). The existing ORBIS-owned tooling provided to them was incomplete, and they were tasked with being production ready in less than two months. After adapting the tooling to their production, producing sample parts, and meeting our deadline, MP encountered a motor failure on their mill. They immediately reached out to ORBIS and provided a solution to ensure supply of parts would not be cut off. This included repairing the existing motor, ultimately replacing it, and providing laser cut/press formed parts (at their expense) in lieu of roll formed parts. There were many hurdles and setbacks throughout this process including retrofit issues on the mill, wiring problems, drive line problems, and clutch issues. MP was always honest and transparent with ORBIS throughout the process. Due to MP's decisive actions and dedication to ORBIS as a customer, the material requirements were met at the ORBIS plants.
In gratitude for MP Metal's "Game Winning Touchdown" by product as requested, an authentic NFL Football is being presented to Morgan and the entire ORBIS Strategic Sourcing Team. ORBIS praises MP Metals for their commitment to ORBIS and ultimately our customers, by helping ORBIS meet its Value Proposition of "accessible expert people with fast responsive service, delivering on time with flawless execution."
