- We would be happy to arrange a (video) appointment to get acquainted. During this meeting, you will discuss the products and volumes involved with one of our specialists.
- Next, we start with a feasibility quick scan. In this scan we check whether the raw materials and formulations used, comply with European Legislation (REACH) and whether we are allowed to produce and store your products here.
- After the quick scan has been given the green light, we discuss topics we can further synergise. For example in the following areas:
- Additional supply chain services such as VAS & VAL activities, warehousing, distribution, return logistics and reconditioning of packaging;
- Procurement of raw materials and packaging;
- Development of your formulation, such as sustainable alternatives;
- Supportive services, such as customer service and advice on legislation and regulations.

Synerlogic is originally the central procurement of the Dutch dairy industry. Although our offering now extends far beyond the dairy industry, procurement is firmly embedded in our DNA. That is why we have an extensive network of partners and suppliers, so that we are flexible to take care of your procurement needs. As a contract manufacturing partner, we naturally include your raw materials.
We don’t just deliver, we also pick up for you. We pick up empty and uncleaned packaging from our customers. We carefully inspect these packaging, clean them, and reuse them in a subsequent production. In this way, we contribute to a circular process. Over the years, we have saved millions of kilograms of plastic packaging with this approach. This fits with our sustainable vision for the future. Does it fit with yours?
Yes, we can manage your stock for you to fully take care of your processes. We can keep track of your stock at your (customer) location using telemetry, for example. Telemetry involves installing a sensor in or on your bulk tank or IBC, giving us insight into your consumption or that of your customers. When we receive a signal, we will start production for you. We will then send the chemicals to you or your customer and pump them over on-site. This way, we make your process even more efficient.
