Welcome to Corporate Purchasing

Continental is constantly searching not only for new potential clients, but also for new potential suppliers and business partners. 

Within Continental a big range of purchasing activities are centralized and executed by the Corporate Purchasing department. We are divided into Production Material and Non-Production Material, with teams working in different countries all over the world. 

Our vision is to fuel Continental's success through purchasing performance.

Our mission is to provide market expertise and sustainable purchasing solutions to source goods and services competitively for all of Continental. 

Our customers value us, because we create value.

Continental is committed to honesty and integrity with respect to our entire business conduct towards employees, customers, suppliers, competitors and other stakeholders.  

We expect all our suppliers and business partners to adhere to the same level of commitment we implement internally. 

The Sustainability Management function within Corporate Purchasing ensures, that we work together in creating a better and more sustainable world for future generations. This function works close together with our Corporate Sustainability department.

We as Purchasing trust that compliance is a key factor of satisfying requirements and expectations of our suppliers. We request our suppliers who are aware of illegal and dubious business activities involving Continental and its employees to use our Integrity Hotline. To disregard and ignore such behaviour is not acceptable.
