July 21 2024 - 11:00PM
Incora, (collectively, “Incora” or the “Company”), a leading global
provider of innovative supply chain management solutions, is
pleased to introduce a global Supplier Development organization to
its already broad capabilities, further expanding its technical
expertise and unique supply chain solutions for its Hardware
business.
This multi-disciplinary team will focus on enhancing the
resilience of Incora’s broad supply chain network through strategic
source development of critical raw materials, supply base capacity
and increased manufacturing efficiencies through technology
maturation and lean manufacturing principles. Utilizing Incora’s
existing talent, technical expertise and expansive network, the
Supplier Development organization will be deployed into multiple
markets to simplify the evolving complexities of global supply
chains.
Chiara Laiena, Vice President, Supply Chain Development and
Transformation, will lead the Supplier Development team, reporting
directly to Chad Stecker, Chief Supply Chain Officer. Chiara is a
seasoned executive with extensive experience leading global teams
across supply chain, program management and commercial operations.
Previously at Incora, Chiara served as the General Manager of
Hardware in the United Kingdom.
“Incora continues to differentiate itself as the leader in
supply chain services and solutions,” said Chad Stecker, Chief
Supply Chain Officer. “At a time when industry capacity is finite,
the greatest value we can provide is stability through source
development. We deploy technical resources, leverage strategic
relationships and utilize our global reach to break free capacity
and increase efficiency. Incora is not just another distributor;
rather, with our global team of experts and expanded capabilities,
we are able to provide complete end-to-end supply chain
solutions.”
Incora has made significant investments into the supply chain as
a whole, resulting in maximized safety stock coverage, with $2
billion in annualized order coverage—a 30% increase year-over-year.
Incora has positioned itself to deliver unique solutions, stability
and continuity of supply to its end customers. This is a true
differentiator in the segment and demonstrates Incora’s commitment
to continued evolution, value and customer success.
