Procurement
In 2017, HOCHTIEF spent EUR 16.2 billion on the procurement of materials and subcontractor services.
Favorable purchasing terms are just one essential element of successful procurement. HOCHTIEF focuses increasingly on optimizing procurement processes, ensuring effective procurement management, strategic supplier selection as well as bundling of demands on a Group-wide basis – with the objective to take advantage of synergies in its global procurement network.
HOCHTIEF has adapted its organizational structure to meet the needs of dynamic internationalization and the intensified expansion of construction-related services. Therefore, the Group's procurement activities extend to all major markets worldwide via our global network.
