Purchasing / logistics

Close cooperation for strong services

We rely on long-term partners

In our eyes, a collaboration with suppliers that is trusting and partner-like is a central factor for success. For only together with our suppliers we can optimally satisfy the high demands of our customers. That is why we strive to develop close relationships with suppliers and to integrate these in our business processes. To do so, we acquire our purchasing parts and materials from component suppliers that have been carefully selected based on their technology, quality and costs. As a globally active company, we are especially interested in suppliers that can competitively provide world market standards and within that:

  • demonstrate a quality management system setup as per ISO/TS 16949 as well as an environmental management system as per ISO 14001,

Supplier integration

An optimal exchange of information is necessary to integrate our supplier in our business processes. Business and CAD data are exchanged with our suppliers via a direct connection (EDI – Electronic Data Interchange) or through web portals. All electronic data exchange guidelines are applied for via the responsible purchasing sector.

EDI - direct connection for the data exchange

To exchange data by EDI, we prefer the route via ISDN (OFTP) or OFTP2. As an exception, there is also the option to connect via VAN or other encrypted processes. VDA and EDIFACT are use as the formats for the data exchange with component suppliers, while we prefer the VDA format.

Information regarding the parameters as well as the description of the single message type can be found in our download center.

Should you have further questions regarding the data exchange via EDI, please contact our hotline at +49 2391/ 8103 888.

Process development / project management

From the idea to the product

Of course everything always starts with the customer’s demands, from which we then develop the necessary process steps and tool concepts using cutting-edge CAD/CAM systems. The concepts and constructions are then implemented through system-supported project planning and while considering the specifications and deadlines of our customers by means of well-functioning processes in a specialized department.
