On Track

Hello All



Well as the credit crunch spreads it's misery and transforms itself into a global recession and my wife moves from shopping at Morrisons to Aldi and I trade in my beloved land Rover for a uni cycle (half the global foot print of a mountain bike) - what next for R Stahl ltd?



I guess you may expect a diatribe of doom and gloom! However, good news - it is not as bad as you may think.



Certainly the oil price is dropping, but let's be honest the oil majors do not do their fiscal calculations based on $150 a barrel. I would hesitate to offer a figure here but its is significantly less and we are a long way from that figure now.



Demand is dropping around the World for Oil related products but demand is still there for Stahl product, and will continue to be so. If new builds are being delayed or cancelled this puts pressure on existing production plants and producers are forced to de bottleneck existing processes and improve efficiencies and continually - safety. And we are in a global position to help in this process.



As for Stahl, well demand for our products remains high, in fact as I write we are still recruiting for good internal sales staff to cope with this demand. Our strategy today is as always, excellent customer service and this is our daily challenge. To give our clients what they want, when they want it in a competitive manner.



Recently we have been talking with major end users in Aberdeen and their support contractors and far from gloomy the response from the Worlds Oil Capital (I should have written Europe but lets be bold!) is nothing but positive. As the global situation gets tougher those companies that focus on customer service with competitive solutions will perform well. The Stahl organisation will be one of those companies.



So, take a positive step and look at the web site below, browse through what the Stahl organisation can offer you!
