Procurement risks

On the procurement side, Heinzel Group’s production companies depend on the supply of raw materials, predominantly wood and recovered paper as well as energy and chemicals. The group proactively counters other procurement risks by using professional purchasing organizations, which continuously monitor the market and look for new potential suppliers. Heinzel Group also operates as a single entity in the market for certain purchasing processes in order to optimize costs and risks. As the potential loss of a major supplier represents a high risk in the trading business, constant efforts are also undertaken to ensure a spread of suppliers.
