Supply Management

Manufacturing business

      In addition to the procurement of bulk raw materials, in order to ensure that our suppliers provide safe and secure products, we require our suppliers to obtain accreditations from ISO, HACCP, AIB, HALAL, or FSSC. Some of our suppliers have also obtained other international accreditations such as RSPO and FSC. Any direct, indirect and packing materials required for production or packing are purchased by the procurement department of the respective production site after assessing raw material and supplier risks. Procurement policies have been established in accordance with local regulations, while issues concerning food safety and traceability are also being addressed properly.

      Qualified suppliers of good quality are selected by Namchow Group through a fair, reasonable, and efficient supplier management process. We also make sure that all raw materials and packaging have reliable suppliers and good quality. Lower costs help to improve product competitiveness.

      In selecting our supplier partners, we also consider those with international certifications such as ISO 22000, HACCP, and environmentally friendly product verifications like traceability and organic product certifications. In 2023, there were 47 suppliers with relevant certifications among our sources of ingredients, accounting for 43.52% of the total. Today, with the rising awareness of food safety, to ensure the safety of the food ingredients purchased, we have implemented supplier management, independent inspections, regular and unscheduled audits, and other tasks in the daily operating process; as such, every customer can be more at ease while enjoying our delicacies.

      When BLN Restaurants & Caterings selects and evaluates suppliers, they primarily consider supplier qualifications, integrity, product quality, supply stability, and reasonable pricing, among other factors. They conduct market research for the required goods based on the kitchen requirements of their restaurants, following the principle of comparing products from at least three different sources. This involves assessing product quality, pricing advantages, supply capabilities, and the reputation of the supplier before choosing the most suitable one. For 40 key suppliers of Paulaner, an annual check is conducted by logging into the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System to verify the supplier’s credit status for the current year. This check includes investigating whether they have faced any administrative penalties or have been listed on the blacklist for serious violations or dishonesty.
