The Procurement Department is responsible for selecting, negotiating, and acquiring the materials, components, services, and equipment necessary for the efficient operation of the company, focusing on quality, cost, deadline, and traceability.
More than just buying, the procurement department acts as a strategic link between industrialization engineering, production, testing, suppliers, and logistics — especially in industrial contexts with high technical demands.
A good purchase is not just the lowest price — it’s the best technical solution at the right time, with reliability and documentation.
