In the competitive world of international trade, earning a new client is a significant achievement. However, successfully convincing a client to transition away from a long-standing, established supplier is a true testament to a product's quality, value, and service. This is the story of our partnership with German, a discerning client from Colombia, who has made the strategic decision to replace his previous supplier, Armal, with Topindus for his requirements of portable plastic toilet.
The Client's Legacy and the Need for Change
German’s business, operating in the dynamic Colombian market, has long relied on portable sanitation solutions for construction sites, outdoor events, and public facilities. For years, Armal was his go-to brand, a name synonymous with durability in the industry. However, in a rapidly evolving market, German began to seek more than just durability. He identified key areas for improvement: aesthetic appeal, logistical efficiency, and overall value. The heavy, often cumbersome nature of traditional units posed challenges in transportation and on-site relocation, leading to increased labor costs and time. Furthermore, a more modern and visually appealing design was needed to meet the rising expectations of end-users and project managers.
This is where Topindus entered the picture. After initial contact and a thorough evaluation of our product catalogs and sample reports, German recognized an opportunity to upgrade his supply chain without compromising on the core requirement of robustness.

The First Major Order: A 40ft High Cube Container of Customized Solutions
The confidence German placed in us was solidified with a substantial order for a 40-foot high cube container of our premium plastic movable toilets. This order was particularly significant as it was not a simple, one-style-fits-all shipment. It reflected a nuanced understanding of market preferences, featuring two distinct and thoughtfully designed color configurations:
Model A: Grey Door with Red Walls. This combination offers a bold, highly visible appearance. The red walls are easy to spot on a large worksite, while the grey door provides a touch of professionalism and is better at concealing minor scuffs and dirt, maintaining a cleaner look over time.
Model B: Blue Door with Grey Walls. This configuration presents a more subdued, calming aesthetic. The blue and grey scheme is often preferred for public events, parks, and locations where blending with the environment or projecting a more corporate image is desired.
German was especially impressed by the lightweight yet incredibly robust construction of our units. Unlike heavier alternatives, our engineering focus on high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or similar advanced plastics results in a product that does not sacrifice strength for weight. This inherent "lightweight" characteristic directly addresses the pain point German identified with his previous supplier. The units are far easier to handle and maneuver in outdoor settings, whether being offloaded from a truck, carried by a small team of workers, or repositioned with a forklift. This translates directly into tangible cost savings for his operations through reduced risk of damage, lower fuel consumption during transport, and increased efficiency in deployment.
Beyond the Product: The Value of a Partnership
The transition from Armal to TOPINDUS was driven by more than just the physical attributes of the toilet units. For German, it was about forging a partnership. Our team worked closely with him to ensure the order was meticulously packed within the 40ft HC container to maximize space and ensure secure transit to the Colombian port. We provided all necessary documentation promptly and maintained clear communication throughout the process, making his first major import experience with us seamless and reliable.

Looking Forward: A Foundation for Future Growth
This successful shipment of the 40ft container is not the conclusion, but rather the beginning of a long-term strategic partnership. German has expressed his satisfaction with the product's design, quality, and the ease of doing business with TOPINDUS. He now has a reliable, high-quality alternative to Armal that not only meets but exceeds the modern demands of his customers.
This case with German underscores a vital lesson in today's global marketplace: clients are constantly seeking better value. By offering a superior product that is both aesthetically pleasing and logistically superior, combined with unwavering customer service, TOPINDUS is poised to become the new benchmark for portable sanitation solutions in Colombia and beyond. We are proud to support German's business growth and look forward to fulfilling many more containers as he continues to replace his old stock with our innovative, high-value solutions.
