Stock That Works as Hard as You Do

We know that when you place an order, you expect it to arrive on time and in full. That’s why we’ve invested in Slimstock inventory management software to monitor usage and optimise stock levels. It’s helped us achieve a 98.25% fulfilment rate on fast-moving products - so you get what you need, when you need it.  When you’re logged into the webshop you can see what stock is available for each product.

Sourcing That’s Smarter

We don’t just buy products - we benchmark pricing, analyse market feedback, and source new vendors to stay competitive. Whether it’s a standard item or a one-off request (like air conditioners for the Olympics), we treat every purchase as an opportunity to deliver more value to our customers.

Relationships That Deliver

Our vendor relationships are built on trust and shared goals. We work with suppliers who are willing to go the extra mile to help us win projects and deliver on time. It’s this collaborative spirit that keeps our supply chain strong, even during global disruptions.

Sustainability That Matters

We’re proud to be pushing the boundaries of sustainable procurement. From using recycled materials (some plastic products contain up to 64% recycled content) to working with vendors who use FSC-approved cardboard, we’re committed to reducing our carbon footprint and achieving carbon neutrality by 2030.

Expertise That Counts

Our purchasing team combined, brings over 100 years of experience to the table. That means smarter decisions, better negotiations, and a deeper understanding of what our customers really need. We don’t just react to feedback - we use it to improve product quality, enhance features, and sometimes even reduce prices.

Procurement That Powers Innovation

We’re constantly looking for new materials, technologies, and ideas that can help us - and our customers - stay ahead. Strategic sourcing ensures our suppliers meet ethical and sustainability standards, while our Sonepar group-wide competence centre shares best practices across locations to keep us learning and growing.

At Mayflex, purchasing is more than a process - it’s a promise. A promise to deliver high-quality products, reliable availability, competitive pricing, and innovative solutions with sustainability at the core. Because we’re not just buying for today - we’re building for tomorrow.
