What Is "European Preferred Supplier Programme"
The programme is basically the overall framework for initiating a supplier partnership set-up with the following elements:
  • Reduction of the suppliers actively supplying JELD-WEN in order to pool volume and give dedicated growth to the selected preferred suppliers.
  • Working on continuous innovation together.
  • Continued agreement on cost price reductions.
  • Long-term perspective and common targets.
  • Access to all European factories with volume and specification information, etc.
The programme with each individual supplier is agreed on following terms:
  • The normal commercial agreement.
