Sourcing for a smarter, stronger supply chain.
In today’s fast-changing world, sourcing goes beyond getting the lowest price. It’s about making supply chains that are efficient, durable, and eco-friendly. At NOTE, we view sourcing as a key driver. It fuels innovation, boosts quality, and speeds up market entry. This helps our customers stay ahead in competitive fields.
Global Reach, Local Expertise
Our Global Sourcing team follows one key principle: think globally, act locally. We combine global reach with local insights. This helps us find the best materials and components. We also uphold NOTE’s high standards for quality, reliability, and environmental responsibility.
This is more than procurement – it’s about strategic partnership. We collaborate with our business units. This helps us reduce lead times and cut costs. Also, we provide custom electronics solutions that fit customers’ needs.
International Purchasing Offices (IPOs): Our Strategic Hubs
Our sourcing strength comes from our International Purchasing Offices (IPOs) in Sweden and Asia. Our primary focus is on China and Malaysia. These hubs provide the perfect balance: central oversight and regional execution.
-
Sweden’s IPO drives alignment across European operations.
-
Asia IPOs, run from our Haddenham hub, offer key local support in vital supply markets.
Our IPO teams handle it all. They find and qualify suppliers, negotiate contracts, and check performance. This keeps us connected, responsive, and proactive worldwide.
End-to-End Integration for Reliability
Sourcing at NOTE establishes a seamless connection with our Material Supply and Logistics. This gives us clear visibility throughout the value chain. This makes it easy for materials to move from the supplier to production. This happens smoothly, even when the market fluctuates.
Our key strengths:
-
Tight coordination between suppliers, logistics partners, and production sites.
-
Flexible models to match diverse customer requirements.
-
Strong risk management and contingency planning capabilities.
This integration allows us to deliver consistent, high-quality service at every step.
