Greetings from Natrio Global

Natrio Asia Pacific’s Robin Hutton, Supply Chain Manager and Stanko Zilic, National Operations & Engineering Manager recently returned from a business trip of epic proportions across the US and South America to liaise with our Natrio Global counterparts.

The purpose of the trip was to share and develop operational ideas across the global business in regards to operations, quality, best practice functions, warehouse development – construction, design, equipment technology and advancements. We operate very similarly in all countries but we haven’t had as much opportunity as we’d like to share our learnings and development ideas so this trip was to start the process of engagement on a global scale.

Check out the travel itinerary and some of the photos from along the way below (special mention to the Natrio Hollywood Star!)

The destination is not always pretty (or warm, 4 degrees!), but Tom gets to see firsthand what its like on a remote mine site – 5 ½ hours west of Perth.
