Purchasing

The implementation of our business objectives in order to achieve a permanent securing and im-provement of the client satisfaction requires efficient structures in all of the business processes. We look upon the high proportion of external value creation which is fundamentally contributed to by our suppliers as being an integral constituent part of the process. Our supplier's strategy therefore reflects the corporate objective when implementing the productivity targets in order to maintain our competitive strength.

In accordance with our quality policy, the client is at the centre of our considerations and actions. Quality is the fulfilment of the agreed requirements of our clients. Each of us – and this includes our suppliers and their suppliers - cooperate directly or indirectly in the fulfilment of the require-ments of our clients. This means that it is important that there is awareness that each of our suppliers must bear full responsibility for the quality of his work.

Before you can develop into a strategic partner, we require some important information from your company. Please therefore fully complete the personal and financial data form for suppliers and send it to us. We will then carefully check and evaluate your information so that we can take your company into account in a targeted manner if suitable queries be made. Your data will obviously be treated by us with confidence. The personal and financial data form for suppliers should prevent us from asking you about deliveries or services which you are unable to provide, e.g. due to you not having the technical requirements.

What we expect from our suppliers:

• Zero-defects principle for all supplies
• High level of competitiveness with regard to the price, quality, adherence to delivery dates
• Innovativeness, continuous product and process improvements
• Acceptance of the Dietz Conditions of Purchase
• Fulfilment of all of the latest quality requirements
