Single Sourcing

What is Single Sourcing ?

The procurement of non-strategic chemical products is time-consuming and cost-intensive. Brenntag offers you its services as a single source supplier and can provide a full product portfolio based on agreed quality and service standards. Single Sourcing is the term used to describe the purchasing of a complete product range from one preferred supplier. Brenntag, as Europe's largest distributor of industrial and specialty chemicals, offers your company a logistics concept with clear-cut financial and strategic benefits.

Why Single Sourcing ?

Brenntag's expertise and experience with Single Sourcing projects enables you to focus your time and effort on the procurement of your strategically important products. Brenntag allows you to outsource the supply of your entire portfolio of non-strategic raw materials to one strong partner. We order your products for you, store them for you in close proximity to your production locations - and deliver them "just-in-time".You save a tremendous amount of time (and thus costs) in your sourcing activity. Instead of inquiring with several suppliers, negotiating prices, terms and conditions with each of them at a time, you depend on one single point of contact and the excellent product support and product availability of a true industry leader.Single Sourcing also means: reducing complexity and eliminating unnecessary administrative procedures in your purchasing department, incoming goods inspection, quality control and accounting. Brenntag can also assume the responsibility of sourcing cheaper product alternatives for you, which allows you to further concentrate on your core activities: product development and marketing.
