Our suppliers

Quality from all sources.

Our suppliers - vital to our continued success

As an international company with production facilities in the USA, China, Italy, Germany and Brazil, the purchasing teams of the BOMAG Group always seek to establish long-term relations with suppliers in order to jointly achieve optimum standards in efficiency and quality. BOMAG sets itself ambitious goals which fully satisfy and even exceed customers' expectations.

"Being the best" is the most fitting description of BOMAG's philosophy and is the motto for every employee, in every market and location. Discerning users on construction sites all over the world are saying: "Good to know it's a BOMAG!" If you are interested in entering into a business relationship, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

Purchasing policy

Our purchasing goals derive from our business goals. Our foremost business goal is to exceed customers´ expactations and work profitably as a company by providing the highest quality products and services. This product and service quality is closely tied to the BOMAG name and has been part of our company culture for years. It is the key to our market success and forms the basis for meeting customer requirements. Cross-divisional cooperation enables us to ensure an optimal combination of functionality, delivery and price in which quality is an indispensable prerequisite.

No goal is set in stone. The aim is to become better every single day.

Range of requirements

In the course of the ongoing development of BOMAG production facilities in the USA, China, Italy, Germany and Brazil to meet the growing international orientation of our customers, we plan to upgrade our supplier base at home and abroad. The main emphasis in the purchase of production materials is on engines, hydraulics, steel and steel components, casting, stamped and turned parts as well as electronic and electromechanical devices. On account of future developments, plastic and rubber parts are becoming increasingly important for us.

In addition, operating supplies, services and capital projects are other important areas in our purchasing portfolio.

What we expect from our suppliers

The BOMAG Group aims for long-term partnerships with its suppliers. To ensure the success of these partnerships, the criteria for becoming a BOMAG supplier are set out in our quality management system.

  • The ideal supplier to the BOMAG Group offers high-quality products with technically efficient and competitive performance at competitive market prices.
  • As a supplier you contribute early on and pro-actively to the development stages of new products. You always execute deliveries on time.
  • We expect continuous improvement in all areas and innovative co-operation on BOMAG projects, especially in quality, logistical, technical and business areas.
  • Mutual long-term agreements form the basis to faciliate co-operation for all sides, with responsibilities which are clear and specific to the project at hand.

How to become a long-term partner

You begin the process of becoming a supplier to the BOMAG Group by completing a standard questionnaire and submitting your catalogue materials (in paper/digital form), which are then circulated to our departments. Existing and potential new suppliers are listed and receive appropriate enquiries for our different projects.

The choice of suppliers from the approved list is made by a team made up of representatives from different departments on the basis of economic, technical, logistical and qualitative merits.

Integration into our business

“General quality capability" commences during the supply phase, on receipt of goods, or the execution of an Internet auction. 

This is achieved through:

  • The supplier questionnaire
  • Presentation by the supplier to BOMAG, leaflets, web pages
  • Audit/visit to the supplier's production facilities
  • An audit, if required, of quality assurance systems, facilities and process capability

Quality at its best

This process minimizes risks and enables the rapid and effective integration of suppliers into our business methods. Only suppliers with world-class quality and process capabilities qualify for this type of business relationship.

A quality assurance agreement sets out quality management criteria and is an indispensable condition for series deliveries. We require first sample test reports including an initial sample for certification. During the production of the sample order, we reserve the right to verify the manufacturing process at the supplier´s facility or to inspect statistical process control documentation.

Secondary agreements

Depending on the type of cooperation, we will conclude a framework, delivery, tool, module or assembly contracts and non-disclosure agreements with you. If you conduct development work for us, this will also be covered by a separate agreement.

If your product range matches our needs, we welcome your interest in entering into a long-term relationship with the BOMAG Group.

Internet-based sourcing

eProcurement is the generic term for internet-based sourcing by the BOMAG group.

This technology enables possible participating companies to achieve continous improvement in the business to business areas of logistics and the flow of information. The integration of Internet technology into the sourcing process allows for new methods of organisation, major reductions in process costs, and a clear increase in added value. BOMAG always endeavours to supply relevant information available to enhance business operations.
