For the third time, the Schreiner Group has selected a “Supplier of the Year.” This year, the Supplier of the Year Award goes to Ritrama S.p.A. Ritrama supplies self-adhesive films and transfer adhesives to the Schreiner Group. Besides receiving a very high overall rating, the Italian family business has made significant improvements in performance in all relevant areas.
On April 17, Norbert Kreitmeir, team leader purchasing raw materials at Schreiner Group, presented the award to Ritrama S.p.A., which was represented by Tomas and Ricardo Rink, president of Ritrama. At a meeting at the company’s headquarters in Oberschleißheim, both parties agreed to intensify their cooperation on an equal footing. Kreitmeir is convinced that, by taking this step, Schreiner Group will be able to supply customers in the pharma industry as well as the automotive and electronics industries with even better products in the future because the materials from Ritrama are primarily used in these sectors. “We need partners that supply materials at the best price and the right quality so that we can offer our customers optimum solutions for their applications,” said Kreitmeier.
In 2014, 50 suppliers of production materials – ranging from films, paper and ink to production-related tools such as dies – were again compared in order to assess the balance between costs and quality. The selection of the companies was based on delivery volume and strategic importance. The supplier evaluation itself rests on four pillars: Quality, Logistics, Technology and Costs. In addition to the absolute rating, relative improvement compared to the company’s rating the previous year is a decisive factor.
