Catalogues

Electronic catalogues serve as a central interface between suppliers and buyers, providing a structured overview of products, prices, availability and other key information. 

Vorwerk uses its own criteria to select which of its preferred suppliers are suitable as catalogue suppliers.

The following retrieval methods are available for SAP Ariba, amongst others:

• Static catalogue
• Punchout catalogue Levels 1 and 2 (integration of an external webshop)
• Free-text orders

Quality

Quality is our top priority in our daily work—across the procurement of components, assemblies, software solutions, machinery and equipment, tools, and engineering services for our products. 

In our day-to-day operations, we are committed to ensuring that every product and service we procure not only meets the highest standards of quality but exceeds them. This ambition is crucial to our current and future success and strengthens our brand and customer reputation for high-quality, durable products. Together with our suppliers, we develop and maintain partnership-based relationships to achieve continuous improvement and create innovative solutions for the future. Through this collaborative approach, we are able to deepen and further build the trust of our suppliers and customers, so that we consistently achieve the very best.

Quality is not just a word; it is a firmly embedded part of our work and identity.

Innovation and Competitiveness

We combine progress with strength: innovation and competitiveness are the cornerstones of our procurement strategy. Through technological curiosity, creative ideas, and collaborative partnerships, we create solutions that not only meet today’s requirements but also shape the future.

With transparent processes and advanced approaches such as value stream/value analysis and benchmarking, we set new standards for efficiency and sustainable value creation, creating value that goes far beyond pure cost savings. Together with our suppliers and teams, we design innovative products and secure a leading position in global competition.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a decisive factor for responsible, future-oriented business today. To ensure that we act successfully and sustainably together over the long term, we must uphold the highest standards of environmental, social, and economic sustainability across the entire supply chain. This means we expect our suppliers to implement resource-efficient processes, ensure fair working conditions, and consistently uphold human and environmental rights. Only through close collaboration and transparent exchange can we jointly develop innovative solutions that minimize the environmental footprint, contribute to social justice, and enable long-term economic success.

Resilience

We harness the opportunities of the global procurement market. Through diversification and proactive supply chain risk management, we reduce our supply chain’s susceptibility to disruption and ensure the continuous supply for our direct sales. Quality, innovation, cost consciousness, and sustainability are the foundation of a trust-based, long-term partnership.
