Interim Procurement Assistant

August 2011 - September 2011 | FrieslandCampina | Amersfoort

The story of FrieslandCampina and their relationship with milk began in 1871. This was the year farmers decided to join forces in local cooperative dairy factories. By doing so, they could strengthen their market position and ensure sales of their milk. Today, FrieslandCampina is one of the world’s largest dairy companies. Every day, they provide millions of consumers all over the world with valuable nutrition from milk. Not only in the form of milk itself, but with all kinds of dairy products we make from milk.
For the Indirect Procurement (packaging materials) there was a need for updating the contracts with their suppliers to be in line with the FrieslandCampina guidelines. As Procurement Assistant I was assigned the task copying existing contracts into the new template and identify the need for re-negotiation with the suppliers.
