The degree of innovativeness, the quality and, just as importantly, the price of our industrial trucks and materials handling systems are determined to a large extent by our selection of suppliers and how well we integrate them into our processes. That is why Jungheinrich Group's Purchasing strategy is centred around supplier management, and why it is controlled by the Group's Corporate Purchasing and Logistic Department in Hamburg. This is an approach which requires close coordination and cooperation with all our production plants and sales areas.
