Suppliers' area

MAXAM's relationship with its suppliers is a fundamental part of our business and we consider our suppliers as part of our team and progress.

We foster relationships of trust, integrity and transparency with a primary objective: to maximize synergies and offer reciprocal value in all business relationships.

The guarantee of quality and safety of the products and services offered by our suppliers is one of the key elements in the maxam purchasing strategy.

With this objective, a supplier qualification and evaluation process has been established to guarantee compliance with these principles and standards of safety, hygiene, economy, finance, quality, ethics, corporate social responsibility and care for our group’s environment, as well as the regulatory and legal principles applicable to each country.
