Home Depot exploring partnership with Patton

Senior most team of 100 Billion US Dollar Retail Giant Home Depot from Atlanta, USA visited Uluberia Plant of Patton International Limited. The team Comprising of President – Global Sourcing, Brand and Product Development JIM HOVIS, Head Divisional Merchandising Rodes Bazzel and Chief – Product Development Merchant Craig Brown explored Uluberia Plant to embark on a journey of engaging into tie-up with Patton International as their strategic partner for new private brands that they intend to create in Steel Conduit Electrical Fittings.

"This would be a great leap forward for Patton," says Sanjay Budhia, Managing Director, Patton Group. "JIT/ETA/OTD - Just in Time, Expected Time of Arrival and On Time Delivery is the name of the game. It is imperative that quality products are delivered at competitive cost and on right time. Nowadays it is not customers' expectations but mere requirements that one cannot supply even two days earlier or three days later than the precise and specified date of deliveries. To sustain and meet these challenges, it has become necessary for us to have our own full proof and fault free backup supply chain logistic system in place" said Sanjay Budhia, MD, Patton Group.

Hence, Patton has forayed into warehouses in Jonesboro, Arkansas and Norfolk, VA, Virginia in US which are strategically close to Customers' locations to stock customer specific products for on time delivery so that customers remain assured that their ordered materials are available just a call away and also not being reflected in their accounts.
