The company has been manufacturing and supplying staircases for over 30 years, constantly reviewing products and services and refining its approach to meet the high volume and rapid delivery demands of this sector.

The company sought a partner capable of handling the challenges of these more <a href=\"https:\/\/ltsglobalsolutions.com\/tailored-distribution-services\/\">bespoke distribution <\/a>commissions, representing smaller volumes but different and very unique delivery requirements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Solution:<\/strong><br \/>\nLTS has provided logistics services for Staircraft for a year and currently manages around 20% of all Staircraft deliveries. Excellent levels of communication have been established between the two companies, with LTS logging directly into Staircraft\u2019s own on line management system to ensure deliveries are planned ahead of production. In addition, LTS has invested in <a href=\"https:\/\/ltsglobalsolutions.com\/new-euro-6-vehicles-for-lts\/\">longer vehicles<\/a> to service the Staircraft requirement; for these products, weight is rarely an issue, but the length of straight stair sections can present logistic challenges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Testimonial<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cLTS provides us with a consistently reliable and efficient service,\u201d confirmed Paul Thomas, Operations Manager for Staircraft. \u201cOur bespoke staircases are \u201ccomplex\u201d and come in all different shapes and sizes, as well as being a semi finished joinery product that demands knowledgeable handling.
