The Value Chain Department continues to strengthen its strategic role within the Aldomer Group through new initiatives aimed at optimizing procurement management and improving negotiation terms with suppliers.

In an increasingly competitive industrial environment, supply chain efficiency has become a key factor in ensuring the sustainability of operations and adding greater value to projects.

Through various strategic actions, the department works to strengthen coordination among the company’s different areas and consolidate a procurement model that is more efficient, transparent, and aligned with growth objectives.

Strategies for Optimizing Procurement Management

Among the initiatives promoted by the Value Chain Department are the updating of procedures and the centralization of procurement processes—strategies that improve the financial and operational terms of our relationships with suppliers. This approach facilitates the standardization of processes and the securing of better prices, the extension of payment terms, and the negotiation of more advantageous global agreements.

In addition, visits to suppliers have been conducted with the aim of increasing our visibility and strengthening long-term business relationships. These visits provide firsthand insight into suppliers’ capabilities, improve communication, and build trust that fosters stronger and more efficient collaboration.

Strengthening Relationships with Suppliers

Strengthening relationships with suppliers is one of the cornerstones of the department’s strategy. Maintaining open communication and collaboration based on trust helps improve supply chain stability, optimize procurement processes, and ensure the availability of the materials and services needed to carry out projects.

Through strategic supplier management, we seek to build lasting relationships that generate mutual benefits and contribute to improving the organization’s overall competitiveness.

Team Cohesion and Collaboration

As part of this department-wide initiative, the Value Chain team, along with representatives from Human Resources, Management, and the Presidency, held a gathering at the Montalván restaurant in Seville. The purpose of this gathering was to strengthen team cohesion, foster camaraderie, and continue to build a work environment based on collaboration and commitment.

These types of initiatives help reinforce corporate culture and create stronger, more motivated teams capable of tackling current challenges with a shared, growth-oriented vision.

Commitment to Continuous Improvement

The Value Chain Department’s drive reflects our commitment to continuously improving its internal processes and developing strategies that bring greater efficiency and value to the entire organization.

By optimizing procurement management, strengthening supplier relationships, and fostering coordinated work across departments, we continue to move toward a more competitive and sustainable operating model.
