Procurement and Services

Our organisation's success is based on flexibility and independence. This being the case, our arms for production, procurement, services and much of logistics work autonomously, throughout the Group, exclusively for us. That keeps us fast, flexible and successful, both nationally and internationally.

This includes:

• Purchasing and ordering companies
• Worldwide production plants
• Individual logistics centres
• Commercial services such as financial and general accounting, marketing communications, IT and management control
