Purchasing Philosophy

We focus on sustainable, responsible and competitive strategies to achieve the best results.

At GERHARDI, the Purchasing Department is organized according to material groups. Within these material groups, our responsible specialist purchasers coordinate and bundle the demand for essential materials and services.
Our competitiveness depends to a large extent on our suppliers and service providers, who account for a significant proportion of our material input. Due to volatile markets and globalization-related change, our Purchasing Department is confronted with the constant challenge of procuring materials and services at the required time, in the required quality and at a competitive price.

Purchasing Guidelines

As a well-known supplier of plastic products for the automotive industry, we would like to meet the requirements of the market and our customers with a distinctive innovation strategy and state-of-the-art production technology. These requirements are reflected in what we expect from our partners and in the structure of our supply chains. Within our purchasing organization we define our interfaces in such a way that flawless and retraceable work results can be achieved. In order to reach a continuous improvement process for increasing process performances of risks and opportunities and to achieve quality leadership, we set measurable goals for ourselves and our suppliers. We protect the environment by using sustainable resources. This includes an efficient use of energy in the procurement of our materials, projects and services. Energy-efficient products and services are acquired to improve our energy-related performance. All binding requirements (legal and other, as well as our own requirements) regarding environmental and occupational safety, use of energy, energy consumption and energy efficiency must be observed by our suppliers and partners. Negative environmental impacts caused by the type and scope of our procurement processes for supplying the required products are prevented or continuously reduced as far as possible. Social and ecological responsibility as well as business ethics and compliance are of high relevance. This includes sustainable, responsible procurement.
