  • Purchasing

    TEAM 7 selects its suppliers according to the extent to which they comply with the company's central image. Contrary to the general trend towards global sourcing, TEAM 7 has always preferred regional purchasing structures. In addition to the short distances and correspondingly lower pollutant and CO2 emissions with which this is associated, the flexibility of a regional supply network is an important element in TEAM 7's ability to perform. Another positive effect lies in the creation and preservation of highly qualified jobs in the region. Through the interaction between local purchasing and a high export share, TEAM 7 has been able to strengthen Austria's position as an economic centre for the long term.
