The ability to maintain or support a process continuously over time

Sustainability

Customers (and shareholders) now expect manufacturers to ensure there is sustainable sourcing and ESG compliance throughout the supply chain, even for raw materials. OMCO SUMO provides OEMs with the upstream visibility and confidence that they are sourcing sustainably from a responsible and ESG compliant supplier.

Solutions that move the world forward.

OMCO SUMO is deeply knowledgeable and passionate about helping customers achieve sustainable sourcing and ESG goals, focusing on both the integrity of product performance and the corresponding influence on human rights, the environment, and fair business practices. We are the first provider of proprietary ESG ratings within the power transmission industry covering an extensive and expanding network of manufacturers throughout Asia. It includes detailed information about the ESG footprint and activity at OMCO SUMO subcontractors, notable brands they supply, as well as listing all local certifications.

Sustainable motion requires solutions be:

Our solutions are relevant.

Intense pressure to reduce costs is often at odds with the investment required to achieve performance improvement. An experienced and trustworthy resource is required to quantify and optimize the balance of these two critical yet opposing objectives. Spanning the continuum from “standard” to fully custom offerings, OMCO SUMO manages this challenge with competency, creativity, and passion. We routinely prove that cost and performance aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive. And when they are, we minimize the gap.

Our solutions are reliable.

Born from intelligent design and successful execution, reliable inputs are trustworthy and consistently perform as expected. Capitalizing on six decades of engineering and domestic manufacturing experience, OMCO SUMO solutions last longer, operate more efficiently, reduce downtime, and as a result reduce waste, consumption, and cost.

Our solutions are repeatable.

The ability to perform tasks consistently without deviation is paramount to operational efficiency and elimination of waste. From engineering to mass production, strong systems are required to manage complex production processes. Quality system accreditation, 6S, Advanced Product Quality Planning, and Six Sigma are methodologies utilized to realize this goal. While common domestically, offshore adoption is often commensurate with cost. Relying on relationships we’ve continuously invested in over several decades, OMCO SUMO assures the appropriate trusted partner is utilized for every requirement.

Our solutions are responsible.

Customer relationships that span more than thirty years attest to our unwavering commitment to stand behind our product. In addition to integrity of product performance, OMCO SUMO focuses on the corresponding influence on human rights, the environment, and fair business practices. Our goal is to support our customers with transparent values-driven business practices that help achieve sustainability of the triple bottom line: people, profit, and planet.

Our solutions are redundant.

Today’s dynamic global trade environment requires planning for disruption. Politics, tariffs, duties, conflict, currency valuation, climate or pollution-induced blackouts, regulatory compliance, transportation shortage, labor strikes, pandemic, and human rights violations for example. This uncertainty requires strategic preparation for secondary and tertiary approved sourcing from diverse locations. OMCO SUMO solutions that are subcontracted can be produced in multiple countries of origin by proven partners, including domestically for most products if advantageous or required.

Our solutions are real.

Claiming a product is sustainable is easy, and false claims of product origination are a legitimate concern. We incorporated sustainability into our brand not long after identifying that a publicly traded customer had left us to partner with a trading company from a lower-cost region of China where it’s common for families to farm by day and machine bearing rings from low-quality steel in their homes at night. Despite a strong sustainability focus conveyed to their shareholders, and while concern for the greater good is not limited to financial risk, the lack of upstream visibility putting shareholders at risk was striking. We believe in the adage, “trust but verify.” In addition to the proof of product performance, our ESG-audited and responsible supply chain is fully transparent to our customers.
