Our Company puts great emphasis on its sourcing processes, in which it has the same high expectations of its suppliers as it has for itself. Our organisations tasked with sourcing have to be extremely efficient in operating in this exceptionally broad and rapidly changing area and need to adapt to the increasingly more stringent quality and legal regulations typical of this business environment.
To this end, we have two specialised sourcing centres that provide all of the tangible and intangible assets for our Company's basic activity and operation.
