Hoffman Group Recognized as Key Automotive Supplier

Hoffmann Group (Munich, Germany) is the parent company of Hoffmann Group USA (Knoxville, TN) and one of Europe’s leading system partners for quality tools. They received Europe’s “Brose Key Supplier Recognition 2017” from Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co. (Coburg, Germany), the fifth largest family-owned supplier to the automobile industry in the world which develops and produces mechatronic systems for vehicle doors, seats and electronic motors. This honor is given by Brose annually to global suppliers for outstanding performance in respect of product quality, cost, on-time delivery and innovation.

“Hoffmann not only provided us with our supply of tools worldwide, they have continually surprised us with innovative new products and advisory initiatives,” said Karl-Heinz Bär, the purchasing manager for overhead cost materials and information technology at Brose. “This means we can remain at the cutting edge of technology. In addition, with their support we can implement consistent standards in all our subsidiaries and harmonize our product portfolio, which is reflected through our company-specific workstations and storage design that we have developed and implemented with them. For this reason, we particularly welcome the fact that Brose has expanded their range and now offers a full range of personal protective equipment across Europe, together with the necessary advisory service.”

“We are very proud to be honored in this way,” noted Martin Reichenecker, the chief sales and marketing officer of Hoffmann. “This honor is confirmation that we can satisfy the requirements of a global player. We see this as a spur to continue developing high quality products and services in the future, and to set consistently high standards on a global basis.”

“With a total of 60 locations in 23 countries, Brose is a very challenging customer for us,” explained Stephan Müller, the international key account manager for Hoffmann. “This is why we are even more delighted to receive this very special recognition.”
