Paul & Co, manufacturer of paper cores with 12 production sites in Europe and Asia, has been again (for the 6th time) appointed best supplier with the highest total score by UPM Paper ENA and Specialty Papers. Frank Bruns, Purchasing Manager at UPM, presented this year’s award to Andreas Friedel, the responsible sales manager at Paul & Co.  

“Measurement and assessment of supplier performance within the individual sites of UPM constitutes a systematic basis for clear requirements and a standard of comparison for the suppliers deployed. Winning this supplier award again, Paul & Co continues to demonstrate its exceptional performance,” says Frank Bruns.  

“For a perfect cooperation between customer and supplier it is fundamentally important to share information and experience on a regular and constructive basis. The supplier assessment carried out annually by UPM is an essential element of a successful collaboration. Thus, possible ‘weak spots’ can be identified and eliminated at an early stage. We are proud to receive this appreciation yet another time and we are pleased together with the entire team who made this success possible. Needless to say that this award continues to give us an incentive to maintain or even further improve and develop this status,” says Andreas Friedel.
