Our philosophy in dealing with suppliers: "The same principles apply to dealing with suppliers as to dealing with customers. In particular, we maintain an open and cooperative relationship that is designed for long-term cooperation. We conduct price negotiations in a targeted and consistent manner, but always openly, objectively and fairly. All areas of the Kurtz Ersa Group work together cross-functionally to leverage savings potential. We also expect all this accordingly from our suppliers."
