We Take Care of All Purchasing

Corporate Procurement department takes care of all purchasing. The team operates across our global offices and factories, across all functions and business groups. There is more needed for producing our products than most people think.

Our team plays a vital role in the process of getting our end products to our customers and consumers.

Some examples are the purchasing of machinery parts or whole machines used in our factories, the logistics involved in transporting (end) products, the purchasing of ingredients like vanilla and fruit, packaging materials, but also cleaning and office supplies.

Roles at the Corporate Procurement department generally involve a lot of stakeholder management and supplier relationship management. As we operate on a global scale, you will come to work in a very dynamic and international environment!

We look outside-in

"Procurement plays an important role in FrieslandCampina's Supply Chain and this goes much further than negotiating and contracting materials and services. We look 'outside-in' at suppliers and try to make optimal use of their knowledge and skills.” - Geeuwke Bosma, Manager Business Procurement Infant Nutrition

The Core Tasks of The Procurement Team Are

The sourcing and purchasing of anything FrieslandCampina needs to produce its products
Integrating many views across the whole value chain
Convincingly communicating about ideas and opportunities, in order to build relationships both inside and outside the organisation
Driving the sustainability of inputs and energy while ensuring that we are competitive, and enabling growth in new products and services
