Reducing mold through proper preservation
Completed: 2018 / Customer: Shoe manufacturer
Location: Cambodia / Task: Mold audit
What did the client need?
Humidity is always high in Cambodia. The rainy season lasts half the year, while the monsoon also brings strong winds and plenty of moisture. The number of customer complaints about moldy products suggested traditional prevention methods were no longer working.
How did YCM solve the problem?
We have different ways of preventing mold depending on the material. We isolated the materials which were at a high risk of mold and created an area where they would be less vulnerable to mold.
What did the client say?
“Right from the start, YCM impressed us with their professionalism and expertise. They understood our needs, assessed our risks and delivered improvements. They solved our mold issue and decreased the number of complaints – which in turn increased the company’s revenue.”
