Suppliers as innovative partners

Objectives
We expect our suppliers to meet strict requirements; after all, our customer’s have high expectations of us too. ENGEL suppliers are expected to recognise and exploit innovative potential due to their market position, their global stance, their know-how and entrepreneurship. A culture of "openness for new approaches” is of fundamental importance..

Our suppliers’ willingness to be innovative helps us achieve a sustainable competitive advantage for our customers. Fairness and a collaborative partnership with our suppliers help us create an atmosphere that lends itself to extraordinary achievements.

Strategy

• Global Sourcing
  We live in a world full of challenges and opportunities. We seek to proactively face these challenges, by taking the opportunities that a global procurement market offers us in selected material groups
• Reinforcing the local supplier basis
  Focus on essentials: we are committed to a strong local and European supplier base. High-performance partners with global competence are imperative for optimum support on global markets.
• Early involvement with the development process
  Customer value is the unequivocal focus of our activities. To be able to offer our customers best-of-breed solutions, we seek to involve our preferred partners with development projects at an early phase.
• Supply Chain Optimisation
  Besides globally competitive pricing, adherence to delivery dates and quality are major factors for mutual success. We continually strive to discover potential for optimisation in our supply chain, and to exploit this potential in cooperation with our partners.
