On this page we would like to give you the opportunity to get to know our range of requirements and to apply directly to us online as a future partner. It is important to us that we work successfully together with our suppliers on the continuous improvement of our products and processes. Together, we want to achieve maximum success in terms of costs, quality, service and innovation in partnership and long-term relationships with you as a global player. Our supplier portal is also intended to serve this purpose.
The aim of WOLF's purchasing strategy is to achieve the most favorable price-performance ratio on the market at any given time.
The WOLF purchasing strategy is based on the goals set in the company for the following 5 years and the corporate strategy developed from these goals. The maintenance and increase of competitiveness is a central element in this. Our suppliers are an essential criterion for our competitiveness. With our purchasing strategy, we aim to establish long-term cooperation with the best companies in their sector in order to achieve the growth targets we have set and successfully place our product innovations on the market.
The 6-pillars of the WOLF purchasing strategy
Our buyers use this information to develop an individual product group strategy.
Strategic partnerships with system-competent suppliers as technology partners. Quality awareness is the central element in this relationship.
Risk minimization of the supply chain through e.g. two-supplier policy.
TCO - evaluation to prepare our procurement decisions.
Intensive supplier communication at all functional levels.
Automation of data exchange and transition to Industry 4.0.
Sustainability and consistent adherence to corporate compliance.
We assess the strategic potential of our suppliers on the basis of their quality awareness, product competence, manufacturing technology, productivity development and capability for logistical innovations. A particular requirement for our suppliers is the willingness and ability to reduce delivery times and increase flexibility in supply for the benefit of our customers. To implement this requirement, the introduction of technologies within the framework of Industry 4.0 is a key success factor. After assessing these capabilities, we align our supplier selection process.
