Exceeding
Expectations

We believe our global supply base is the best on the planet! And our customers back up that claim. ALOM suppliers consistently exceed expectations for responsiveness, quality, and on-time delivery while also supporting our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments.

Quality

Thoughtful
Procurement

Beyond focusing solely on cost, ALOM buyers evaluate social, ethical, economic, and environmental impacts when making new supplier and material procurement decisions.

What is nearsourcing, and what are the supply chain benefits?

Nearsourcing is the practice of locating key suppliers close to manufacturing and fulfillment sites, in proximity to the final market.

Benefits include:

  1. Mitigate tariffs
  2. Increase quality
  3. Speed replenishment
  4. Lower freight costs
  5. Reduce risk & increase agility
  6. Lower carbon footprint
