Supplier Search

Our approach involves a systematic, step-by-step process to identify, evaluate, and initiate discussions with potential suppliers that meet our criteria.

• Develop supplier requirement profile
• Identify companies: Search and identify companies that match the requirement profile. We use a number of different sources and methods to create a long list of companies.
• Rank the companies on the long list to get a manageable amount of the most relevant companies.
• Personal contact by phone with selected companies from the long list. We then conduct a first qualification and generate interest at the same time.
• Video meetings with the most suitable companies for an in-depth interview. The aim is to make a detailed evaluation and to ask detailed qualification questions (e.g. premises, machinery, personnel, etc.).
• Detailed evaluation of the selected companies including collection and analysis of financial data.
• Factory visits: Planning, booking and execution of factory visits with initial business discussions.
• Inquiry to selected companies.
• Cooperation agreements
• Evaluation of offers, negotiation and signing of cooperation agreements.
