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!

Daniyal Qureshi, Procurement Category Lead

"Even though the company has transformed quite immensely over the last couple of years, the spirit still remains the same. The same spirit drives me to give my best every day, regardless of whatever challenges we face internally or externally. As sourcing lead for the Marketing and IT departments, I ensure that I am not defined by the hours I work, but by the efforts I put in to give back to the company which gave me so much to begin with. This is the spirit which has become not just the company’s identity, but my own too."
