Excellence starts in purchasing

What would a star chef be without his exquisite ingredients? What would a mansion be without high-quality building materials? Only those who value quality can truly provide great quality. For example, purchasing, therefore, has a key role to play in the success of our company in terms of innovation, quality assurance, process coordination and value compass.

When it comes to technology leadership, we apply the same high-standards to our suppliers as we do to our customers. Our purchasing department is as value-oriented as the Marquardt company as a whole. Long-term partnerships, quality awareness, sustainable management and mindfulness of responsibility towards society and the environment are the norm at Marquardt.

Together is the goal

We collaborate with our suppliers to determine efficient solutions in order to continuously optimize the services Marquardt provides in development and production. Continuing to improve and develop cannot be a one-way street. It can only be achieved through dialog. For us, transparent communication in conjunction with the integration of our partners into the product development process early on, has proved to be essential for the success of our cooperation. We are convinced that this will ultimately benefit all sides.
