ARNOLD maintains its Premium Supplier Status at Continental and Schaeffler
ARNOLD UMFORMTECHNIK received its Supplier Nomination from the international automotive supplier Schaeffler and Continental for the first time in 2017. In 2019 the firm was able to maintain that status.
Every two years, the corporate group of Continental and Schaeffler appoints selected joint Premium Suppliers in order to forge a closer working relationship with them. To achieve that status the automotive supply company has defined performance indicators for their Premium Suppliers, and these are constantly reviewed.
Specifically, the performance indicators relate to quality assessment, supplier performance, market pricing and a willingness for innovation. True to their motto of "Quality First" the quality indicator has a particularly heavy weighting. Besides the well-known "Zero Defect Target", the number of complaints and the time it takes to deal with them are further performance indicators.
Our Premium Supplier status has once again been endorsed because of our excellent performance in every area.
Along with ten others, he is responsible for looking after Global Account customers at all their locations throughout the world. The company has been categorised at ARNOLD as a Global Account since 2015.
Every year ARNOLD supplies over 400 million fasteners for a wide variety of applications to 40 Continental and Schaeffler locations.
