Procurement
Every year, HOCHTIEF spends more than 68 percent of its entire business volume on procuring products and services.
In 2010, this amounted to a total of more than EUR 13.5 billion.
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.
From within the Corporate Headquarters topics like governance, compliance and utilization of Group synergies are being developed
and implemented in close cooperation with HOCHTIEF's Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe and Concessions divisions.
Generally, purchasing at HOCHTIEF is structured in a decentralized way in purchasing units, following the divisional structure.
