W&S Plastics is honoured to have been recognised as Cabot’s Supplier of the Year for 2024, celebrating our contribution to the highly successful EasyDeck™ Applicator. The award was presented at the DuluxGroup’s Annual Awards, capping off a year of significant achievements and milestones for the company.
The Supplier of the Year award is a testament to our commitment to precision manufacturing, strong partnerships, and collaboration. It recognises our dedication and expertise in delivering high-quality products that exceed client expectations. Winning the award has also been incredibly rewarding for our team, as it acknowledges our company wide approach to hard work and excellence.
Commitment to Quality and Innovation
In 2024, W&S Plastics played a key role in bringing Cabot’s EasyDeck™ Applicator to market, an innovative product that has revolutionised deck maintenance for homeowners across Australia. Our team was responsible for the moulding, assembly, testing, and packaging of the applicator, ensuring it met the highest quality standards.
As part of our continuous improvement approach, W&S Plastics developed specialised testing methods to verify that each unit was fully functional before distribution.
Our collaboration with Cabot’s also extended to Cobalt, the industrial design team behind the product. The success of this partnership was further validated when Cobalt was named as a finalist in the Victorian Premier’s Design Award for their work on the project.
Aligning Values
Winning Cabot’s 2024 Supplier of the Year demonstrates our alignment with Dulux Group’s values and quality expectations including strong customer focus and valuing our people. Cabot’s identified a market gap and developed a solution tailored to customer needs. W&S Plastics supported this vision by ensuring fast, efficient, and high-quality production, helping the EasyDeck™ Applicator achieve impressive nationwide sales.
