Inter IKEA Systems BV is pleased to announce the addition of Medewo as a reseller of the OptiLedge in Austria, Croatia, Germany and Switzerland.

"We are excited to introduce Medewo as a reseller of the OptiLedge in Austria, Croatia, Germany and Switzerland.  Medewo has tremendous reach in the packaging arena in these markets and the addition of the OptiLedge to their portfolio of products is a natural fit," said Jonathan North, General - Manager Business Technologies with Inter IKEA Systems BV.  “The OptiLedge is prominently featured in Medewo’s recently published 2011 catalogue, which will no doubt create a great deal of customer interest."

Medewo is a leading trading company for packaging materials, packaging equipment, shipping supplies, installations and furniture for warehouses and manufacturing companies. The family owned company, founded 30 years ago in Switzerland, provides goods and services to B2B customers in Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Croatia. Over 3,000 articles are ready for fast delivery directly from inventory from the Medewo logistic hubs in Switzerland and Austria. Customers generally receive their goods within 24 hours and economize on warehouse space and save stockholding costs. In addition to an extensive program of standard articles, clients choose from a wide range of tailor made packaging solutions to cover all their packaging requests.

Products and services are marketed through the annual circulation of a 400 page main catalogue that has become an “almanac of packaging materials". The clearly arranged product presentation allows easy orientation and the possibility to compare articles. In addition with competent consulting and the availability of free samples, customers are sure to make the right choice.  Medewo’s sales consultants are well trained in their field, and undergo regular re-training to make sure they are able to offer relevant solutions in their customers’ supply chains, that are becoming increasingly more demanding.

Medewo also prints and distributes additional specialty catalogues throughout the year containing information about new products and packaging, shipping and warehouse processes. To ensure a high level of good quality information for the rapidly increasing customer base Medewo has sent out close to 1 million copies of their main and specialty catalogues in 2010. Their webshop (www.medewo.com) allows fast and easy ordering without registration 24 h a day 7 days a week. 

"A major concern of Medewo customers is to substantially reduce their logistic and handling costs, while still storing and sending goods as safely as possible" said Sigmund Schett, President MEDEWO Group.  “The OptiLedge® is a new and innovative answer to this demand. It is the solution that will help safe costs in large as well as in medium and small size operations. We are pleased to introduce the OptiLedge® to our clients."
