Our supplier management for strong partnerships

We aim to effectively shape, guide, and develop our supplier relationships over the long term through our supplier management.


Supplier Management Process

Clear processes for a stable supply chain

We manage and optimize our entire external value chain through standardized, systematic processes. These standards apply across the entire group, and each subsidiary is responsible for implementing them locally.

Selection and Qualification

We select suppliers and service providers through a clearly defined process. A standardized questionnaire helps us obtain key information at an early stage. Products and services are tested, sampled, and – if necessary – evaluated through audits and trial deliveries before we make a decision.

Transparent evaluation

To identify our best and most efficient suppliers and service providers, we conduct an evaluation once a year. In addition to the Purchasing department, Quality Management and other departments also participate in this process. The surveys are sent digitally to all evaluators and are completed individually. The system weights the individual results and calculates an overall score, which we make available to our suppliers directly via our eProcurement platform, Onventis.

Supplier Evaluation

Development for Shared Progress

The development of our suppliers is based on the results of the evaluation. We support them in meeting our requirements and goals. In the long term, we aim to further strengthen our collaboration with the best and most capable partners.
