Raw materials - EU sourced – a strategic decision in uncertain times
Global raw material sourcing is under pressure: Political tensions, disrupted supply chains, and fluctuating transport costs are major challenges for companies in electrical engineering and electromechanics. Clearly, sourcing raw materials from the EU is not a short-term reaction, but a sustainable, strategic decision.
Security of supply through European partners
We largely source steel strips, plastic granules, and screws from European suppliers. This strengthens supply chain security and minimizes the risk of delays. Particularly in times of geopolitical instability, this proximity has paid off: Trade within the EU is more predictable and far less vulnerable to global disruptions.
Short distances – fast response
Having regional suppliers means having shorter transport routes, faster delivery times, and reduced CO₂ emissions. This is how we actively contribute to sustainability – without compromising flexibility or quality.
Lean, automated, and resilient
Our European procurement model integrates seamlessly into our automated production processes. Less storage, on-time deliveries, and fast response to technical changes or special requirements increase efficiency as well as resilience.
Close cooperation builds trust
Our close collaboration with European suppliers is based on trust, transparency, and quality awareness. Regular audits and on-site visits ensure compliance with our technical, ethical, and ecological standards – and enable continuous optimization.
Other benefits at a glance:
- greater transparency regarding origin and production conditions
- joint innovation projects with regional partners
- higher flexibility in customer-specific solutions
- stronger resilience to global crises
