"Mintec gives us visibility of all the raw materials used in the products we sell globally, including metals, plastics, wood and energy. It provides us with a reliable price data source with which we can analyse our supplier costs and maximise cost savings to maintain product prices for our customers."

"For Flint, with 14,000 raw materials in over 160 different material categories, it would be unrealistic to think that 18 buyers could build up sufficient knowledge on all the important cost drivers. Outsourcing the service to Mintec has proven to be very effective rather than attempting to develop our own."
