Mondelez’s need
In the food processing industry, hygienic workwear is vitally important. The laundry quality must be good and the transport and storage must ensure that no contaminants find their way onto the workwear. The process related to workwear management must be smooth and efficient.
Previously, Mondelez spent a lot of time in clothing administration, laundry quality varied and there were great losses. The employees often had to queue for clean workwear for a long time and the size was not always right.
Solution
Mondelez decided to use Lindström’s Workwear Services at all of its five food processing plants in different parts of India: Mumbai, Gwalior, Baddi, Bangalore and Pune. Lindström’s Workwear Services have improved the hygiene level of the plants. The laundry quality is good and the clothing is delivered directly to lockers so that no contaminants get transferred from the employees’ own clothing.
The service has also made the everyday life of the employees easier since shift changes are more efficient. Clean clothing in the right size waits in the locker and, at the end of the shift, it is very convenient to put in the laundry box. The clothing is washed according to requirements and damage is repaired.
“The secret of our success is that we offer comprehensive services for the management of workwear. It corresponds to the modern plant’s quality and service level requirements,” says Business Unit Manager Manish Lodha of Lindström India.
