Westfalia Separator GmbH is working with selected strategic suppliers. These "A" suppliers are such because they took the decision to provide constant high quality and work within the principals of partnership.

We do not pursue the lowest price; we follow our company slogan, "Take the Best - Separate the Rest". We work with partners whose vision of process costs, quality, environment management systems and delivery times match ours. Put these together and we have the opportunity for a long-term partnership.

Once we have formed our partnership we expect our suppliers to achieve our goals of a contiunal cost reduction programme.

We invite our suppliers to actively work with us. We want their know-how at the research and development phase of our products. We want them to be partners in our commodity teams. The teams made up of experts from construction, quality management, logistic and purchasing. We want them as partners in these workshops to enable us to achieve our cost reductions.
