In the northwestern part of Denmark and with only a few kilometers to some of the best beaches of the west coast and not least Klitmøller - among surfers abroad better known as Cold Hawaii - lies Han Herreds Reservedelslager (Han Herreds Spare Parts Warehouse) in the town of Fjerritslev.
Han Herreds Reservedelslager - which has been a customer of Triscan since 1976 - was established in the city's old railway station building after the railroad stopped in 1969. Right from the start, the company has been engaged in wholesale of automotive spare parts, tools and consumables for workshops and car dealerships, but also Machine stations, primarily in Thy, Jammerbugt and Vesthimmerland.
As early as 1974, the facilities had become too small and new buildings were built further down the railway line on a plot with the possibility of further expansion. It was the first time needed in 1984 - where it was expanded with garage / cold storage - and again in 1995 where the main warehouse was expanded. Today, the company has almost 1400 m2 of administration, warehouse and garage.
Besides taking care of its customers, the management also also takes good care of their employees. A clear proof of this was when shop assistant Jacob Ranum received the royal reward medal for 44 years of employment at Han Herreds Reservedelslager in December 2014.
At Han Herreds Reservedelslager, most of Triscan's 25 product groups are sold and marketed. "We are well pleased with the cooperation, but also know each other really well after all those years. Triscan is a reliable and stable supplier of quality parts", explains CEO and owner Steen Glerup Nielsen.
In 2015, Han Herreds Reservedelslager was one of Triscan's first customers, who decided to extend the cooperation to include the fairly new product line of sensors. "It has been a great advantage for us to be able to reduce a great number of suppliers of sensors to very few. Previously, we spent too much time finding suppliers and often gave up. Doing so, we unfortunately missed orders, but luckily, this is not longer the case", continues Steen Glerup Nielsen, adding: " We stock the most widely used sensors and get more special sensors delivered at short notice, which works really well. Triscan sensors have been well received by our customers and we have achieved an increase in sales in this product group".
The cooperation with Han Herreds Reservedelslager is also very much appreciated by Triscan. "We are very pleased with the longstanding cooperation and the close relationships we have between companies", says Steen Ray Pedersen, Sales and Marketing Director at Triscan. "We have always been good at finding solutions and giving feedback and inspiration to each other for improvement and development. The cooperation is characterized by openness and honesty, and we both believe this is the fundamental basis for achieving mutual saticfaction", concludes Steen Ray Pedersen.
