Collaboration with suppliers is crucial. VDL Translift strives to build long-term relationships and involves suppliers in new projects from the finalisation phase onwards. This ensures an effective and proactive approach to strategic supply management.

When selecting suppliers, VDL Translift focuses not only on the right price, but also on ensuring quality, reliability, service and sustainability. Our suppliers strive for continuous improvement in terms of quality and environmental impact. Preference is given to companies with ISO 9001, IATF 16949 and ISO 14001 certification.

We expect our suppliers to handle substances and materials, and their recycling, responsibly; minimise the use of packaging materials without compromising product quality; respect human rights and not use child labour; care for the environment; and seek to reduce their CO2 emissions.
