Our key mission is to secure the best possible procurement outcomes globally by uniting the best sourcing solutions with Henkel’s economic and strategic goals. Besides the purchasing conditions, quality and reliability of our business partners play a significant role.

Help us accomplish our mission and experience the challenges of a global player that is a world leader in both mature and emerging markets in the B2B sector as well as the B2C-sector. No matter how you choose to apply yourself in our division, we have just the right challenge for you. The range of tasks we carry out here in Purchasing is every bit as broad as our company. They range from:

  • purchasing of raw materials, packaging supplies, traded goods, or made-to-order products
  • procuring indirect materials such as IT, technical supply or other services
  • building key strategic relationships with suppliers to help optimize our global sourcing process
  • aligning our sourcing strategies with the needs of our business units through key account management.

Getting started: Purchasing
Irrespective of your prior professional experience, an intensive course of training will have you actively involved in one of our fields of activity in no time. You will be taking on responsibility from your first day, working in teams with colleagues and suppliers from around the world, and gaining extensive insight into our business units and business fields.

By working to optimize procurement processes and purchase prices, you will be doing more than contributing directly to our bottom line – you will also be coming into contact with colleagues from every segment of our value chain. And you will be building a valuable network that extends around the globe – one that may provide the seeds for any number of opportunities, at home or abroad, as you continue along your career path – and we will help you along the way.
