HOW OUR TPES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN TOP LOADING WASHING MACHINE
ANTI-VIBRATION FEET
Lower the number of service calls – Our TPEs for
anti-vibration feet reduce appliance movement and
walking during use, thus lowering the number of
service calls and reducing costs.

Note: a base year is not applicable to this goal, because as the number of suppliers
fluctuates so does the number of suppliers that need to be assessed to achieve our goal
– i.e. the achievement of the target is not tied to a base year.
