Purchasing

Partner-like cooperation based on mutual trust and respect – this is how we see the cooperation with our suppliers. This is the basis that enables us to implement these principles:

Our ideas can be transformed into real innovations
We are in a position to take advantage of market opportunities anywhere and at any time
Our growth is guaranteed long-term.


Our suppliers make a significant contribution to the success of our company, and the continuous development of our partners is of correspondingly high importance:

We involve our suppliers in the product development process from the very beginning and thus benefit directly from their extensive experience in the respective industries and market environments.
We always opt for the best blend of peak quality and optimum cost, which is why we particularly appreciate partners that are globally orientated and can respond flexibly.
Wherever it makes sense and is possible, we merge our purchasing actions for multiple projects together.
