JUST LIKE QI-TEX, IT’S ALL ABOUT BALANCE!
Jordi Simó appears to achieve the impossible. CEO of TANATEX partner Grupo ADI, he is also a dedicated sportsman and happily-married father of seven children. How does he manage to do it all?
Total trusting relationship ensures successful collaboration
Jordi set up Grupo ADI in 1997 and has been a partner with TANATEX from the start. “It was thanks to TANATEX that Grupo ADI began the process of internationalisation,” he says. “We reached many agreements allowing us to grow together and there’s no doubt that our partnership has developed into a total trusting relationship which ensures a successful collaboration.”
Today Grupo ADI is made up of a number of companies extending across Europe to Brazil, and is continuing to grow. Jordi’s strategy, closely aligned with that of TANATEX, is to use technical support as a way of providing added value to customers by helping improve processes and reduce costs. He sees no benefit in competing on price alone.
“I believe TANATEX has led the way in communicating to customers how they can improve their processes,” he says. “Now, to stay ahead of the competition, we need customers to see ADI and TANATEX not just as a supplier, but as a partner who will help them in quality, environmental and energy improvements. We need to be agile to offer a great service.”
Favourite product feels like magic!
For a man who manages to achieve such a successful work-life balance, Jordi’s favourite TANATEX product should come as no surprise. It’s Qi-Tex, a smart finish which helps textiles harness the body’s energy during sport while also helping to improve its balance. “I regularly wear this sportswear and it is indeed unbelievable – it feels like magic!” he says.
Jordi not only finds time for his own sporting activities every day, he also encourages a sporting culture throughout the company: “It’s a culture in which health, constancy, self-esteem, sacrifice and teamwork are all promoted, “ he says. “We drive ourselves to constantly improve and fight hard to meet our goals.
“In relation to sporting activities themselves, I never say no to a sporting proposal in the group. We have our own ski mountaineering team and some of our skiers compete in the world cup. Our mountain bike team competes in the Spanish championships and we sponsor various teams and athletes with worldwide reputation.”
As TANATEX celebrates 60 years of operations, Jordi is enthusiastic about meeting future goals together. He sees opportunities for the businesses to grow in textiles and other markets. “I believe new business opportunities can be generated and that the world is full of new chances to expand our business if we have a positive and open mind,” he adds.
Jordi Simó
CEO of Grupo Adi
正如QI-TEX，平衡很關鍵！
Jordi Simó似乎完成了不可能的事情。他既是拓納伙伴ADI集團的CEO，又是一名運動愛好者，還是7個孩子的快樂父親。他是怎么做到的？
完全信任的關系確保成功合作
Jordi于1997年設立ADI集團，一開始就是拓納的合作伙伴。“得益于拓納，ADI集團開始了國際化進程，”他說，“我們達成了許多協議，讓我們一同成長，我們的伙伴關系無疑發展成為了完全信任的關系，從而確保了成功的合作。”
如今ADI集團旗下有許多公司，遍布歐洲和巴西，且在持續發展。Jordi的戰略與拓納密切協同，就是將技術支持作為附加值提供給客戶，改善工藝、降低成本。他認為僅僅是價格戰沒有意義。
“我認為拓納一直倡導的是跟客戶溝通，如何才能改善工藝，”他說。“如今為了在競爭中領先，我們需要客戶不僅把ADI和拓納看成供應商，而且還是幫助他們改善質量、環境和能源的伙伴。我們需要靈活地提供優質的服務。”
喜歡的產品就像魔法一樣！
對于一個這么成功實現工作與生活平衡的人來說，Jordi喜歡的拓納產品也不出所料。那就是Qi-Tex，一款智能整理產品，幫助紡織品在運動時利用身體能量，幫助改善平衡。“我定期會穿這種運動服，確實不可思議——像魔法一樣！”他說。
Jordi不僅每天會騰出時間來運動，而且在整個公司鼓勵運動文化：“這種文化是提倡健康、規律、自尊、犧牲和團隊精神的，”他說，“我們驅動自身不斷改進，努力奮斗實現目標。”
“有關運動本身，我對集體中的運動建議從不說不。我們有自己的登山滑雪隊，有些隊員參加世界杯比賽。我們的山地車隊參加了西班牙錦標賽，我們贊助很多享有世界聲譽的隊伍和運動員。”
拓納成立60周年之際，Jordi對共同實現未來目標充滿熱情。他看到了紡織品和其他市場的業務增長機會。“我覺得可以產生新的商業機會，如果我們有積極開放的態度，世界就充滿了拓展業務的新機會，”他補充說。
