Customers, operations & revenue
Ferrum supplies bathroom and kitchen construction and renovation with sanitary ware and related products. The person specifying a project may differ from its buyer or installer. Design, distribution, parts and support connect manufacturing with end use; the former panel business should be distinguished from this operation.
What shapes business performance
Property activity and renovation affect channel replenishment. Energy, process quality, breakage and logistics matter for bulky products. Distributor sales differ from end demand; inventories should be compared with plant utilisation rather than treating production as guaranteed sales.
