Tomra - har allerede posisjonert seg for eventuell "hard Brexit"
Skulle "worst case scenario" "hard Brexit" inntre for britene, har Tomra allerede tatt sine forhåndsregler! Godt å vite. Her får vi også vite at Tomra har en markedsandel på hele 80% (!!!) i Storbritannia når det gjelder sensorbasert sortering! Fantastisk.

Bracing ourselves for the Brexit fallout
OPINION: Brian Gist, head of TOMRA Sorting UK, shares his views on the potential impact of Brexit on the UK’s waste and recycling sector.

Taking action
So, what can the UK recycling sector do to prepare? In the short term we need to ensure that existing plants have access to replacement parts to keep them working at optimal performance. With almost every UK waste and recycling facility built using equipment that has been imported into the UK, it’s quite likely the supply of spare parts for these plants will be affected by Brexit. As 80% of the sensor-based sorting equipment in the UK is supplied by TOMRA Sorting, we have taken steps to address this threat.
Currently when our UK customers require spare parts for their sorting equipment, these are delivered to the UK from mainland Europe, with TOMRA historically holding only a small stock of spares in the UK. In preparation for Brexit, however, we have invested in brand new UK premises where €1m worth of spare parts will be available for immediate delivery to our customers, thus ensuring continuity in their operations. Our new premises are due to open in July.
