Twelve of Electrolux Group’s key suppliers joined us at our Stockholm headquarters for the annual Supplier Awards, where seven awards were presented, including Supplier of the Year.
“The Supplier Awards are not only a moment to recognize and celebrate the contributions of our suppliers in supporting our vision and purpose,” says Michelle Shi-Verdaasdonk, Chief Procurement Officer, “but they are also an important platform for sharing our strategic direction and reinforcing our ambition to be our suppliers’ customer of choice.”
The day offered valuable insights into Electrolux Group’s latest products, strategy, brand perspective, design concepts, materials, and the fit, feel and finish (FFF) of the company’s offerings, helping suppliers better understand our expectations. The celebration concluded with the awards ceremony, attended by the company top management and procurement colleagues from across the globe.
