Letter from CPO

Welcome Barbara Kux

Dear Philips Suppliers,

 

Philips is continually challenged to ensure supply continuity and to deliver cost-effective products of unequalled quality to fulfill the growing demand of our customers. In order to cope with these increasing demands, Philips is transforming its Purchasing function into world class Supply Management geared to winning in the marketplace.

A key element of this transformation is the creation of a powerful network of suppliers to realize synergies and common goals. With a total purchasing value representing two-thirds of our top-line sales, we can add substantial value to both Philips and our suppliers. But we can only do this if we work closely together as true partners in growth.

 

I am therefore pleased to welcome you to our new Supplier website! It provides you with the latest news and information about working with Philips, as well as direct access to tools and applications of Philips Supply Management and the five Philips Product Divisions.

 

This site is one of the first steps to further intensify our communications with you and to present one face to our suppliers. We of course welcome you to share your feedback and suggestions for further development of this site via the enclosed feedback form!

 

Kind regards,

 

Barbara Kux

Chief Procurement Officer and member of the Group Management Committee of Royal Philips Electronics
