The first Supplier Day was dedicated entirely to partnership-based cooperation with strategically important suppliers.

Selected partner companies came together at Bischof+Klein Konzell under the motto of "Strong Partnerships. Smart Solutions." to discuss central future topics together with our purchasing team. Amongst other aspects, this was concerned with market and business development, supplier management, and the circular economy in the packaging industry.

One intensively discussed question was how long-lasting strategic partnerships can be specifically shaped at various levels. This was visualized on the basis of practical examples.

Stimuli from external guest speakers and an interactive part in the format of a world café ensured lively dialogue between the participants.

Why a Supplier Day? What are the benefits of this for Bischof+Klein?

Our suppliers are a central element of our value chain. They not only supply the materials for our products, but also ideas, innovations, and valuable know-how. So that Bischof+Klein can be successful in the long term, we need partners on which we can rely – and which in turn can rely on us.

Content focus: strategy, sustainability, and cooperation.

Therefore, the Supplier Day was far more than simply a classic networking meeting. It established transparency and trust, fostered a mutual understanding of requirements and challenges, and focused on joint solutions for the future – in the sense of quality, efficiency, and sustainability.

Objective: remaining fit for the future together

The Supplier Day established a new format that fosters dialogue, creates transparency, and provided fresh impetus for future cooperation with our suppliers. The event therefore marks an important milestone for Bischof+Klein and shows how the purchasing department shapes strategic partnerships – actively, with foresight, and shoulder-to-shoulder with our most important suppliers.
