For procurement teams
One supplier, four capabilities, one PO if you want it.
If you look after buying for a business that uses moulded parts across more than one category — food-contact, industrial, decorative, architectural — TCI Group is a way of collapsing four suppliers into one.
Situations we see
Four patterns that come up often.
Consolidating suppliers
You're rationalising the list. Four brands under one company can replace four separate suppliers with one master account.
Standardising paperwork
Same material spec format, same quality process, same audit trail — across every part number, whichever division makes it.
One credit line
One trading account for everything moulded. Simpler for finance, cleaner in your ERP.
Escalation and continuity
One escalation path when a shipment is late or a spec query lands. Not four inboxes.
How it works
The path from first call to a running relationship.
- 01
Master account set up
One supplier record in your ERP. Multiple part numbers underneath.
- 02
Onboarding across divisions
One vendor questionnaire, once. Answers cover every brand.
- 03
Consolidated quoting
Multi-brand jobs come as one quote. Single-brand jobs stay on that brand's paperwork.
- 04
One report, if you want it
Quarterly spend, delivery performance, quality events — reported group-wide, not brand-by-brand.
What we need from you
So the first conversation is useful.
Your onboarding questionnaire. Send it. We'll fill it in for the group so you don't have to repeat it per division.
Your preferred payment terms. So we can set the account up cleanly from day one.
A named buyer contact. So messages get to the right person, and you have one of ours in return.

FAQs
Common questions.
Can I buy from you across all four brands on one PO?
Yes. Or one per brand if your finance side prefers — we can present it either way.
Are all four brands the same legal entity?
Yes. Techcraft Industries Mouldings Ltd trades under four brands. Same company number, same registered office.
Can I audit you?
Yes. Ring first so we can set aside time and have the relevant paperwork ready.
