Chemical Materials
Sourcing Agency – End-to-End International Procurement of Chemical Products
International Sourcing and Distribution of Chemical Products
Within the area of Sourcing, Trading & Distribution, GADOT Germany provides comprehensive procurement services for chemical materials and products on an international basis. Acting as a Sourcing Agent, GADOT assumes responsibility for the design, coordination, and operational management of complex procurement and supply chains, tailored to the specific requirements of individual customers and customer projects.
The focus lies on the professional outsourcing of procurement processes, combined with deep market knowledge, global supplier access, and the integrated logistics expertise of the GADOT Group.
International supplier and producer network
GADOT Germany leverages a strong international network of producers, suppliers, and distributors of chemical products. This network is built on long-standing business relationships, regional market expertise, and technical know-how, forming the basis for reliable, competitive, and scalable procurement.
Sourcing services include both:
- established supplier relationships within the GADOT Group
- targeted identification of new producers and supply sources for specific projects
Identification, evaluation, and selection of suitable suppliers
As part of its sourcing agency services, GADOT assumes responsibility for:
- market analyses and screenings of potential producers and suppliers
- preselection of suitable suppliers based on technical product specifications
- supplier outreach and coordination within defined customer projects
- collection, review, and alignment of product specifications with the customer
This ensures that technical, quality-related, and regulatory requirements are considered from the outset.
Commercial evaluation & negotiation management
In close coordination with the customer, GADOT supports and manages the commercial evaluation and negotiation process with suppliers, including:
- obtaining price indications and binding quotations (RFI / RFQ processes)
- comparison and analysis of alternative supply options
- execution of price and contract negotiations
- identification of cost-saving and optimization potential
- structured reporting and decision support for the customer
Supplier qualification & onboarding
To ensure stable and resilient supply chains, GADOT manages the supplier qualification and onboarding process, including:
- review of contractual frameworks and terms
- alignment of delivery conditions with the customer
- system-based onboarding into GADOT’s process and IT structures
- integration into existing supply chain and logistics concepts
Logistics integration – from procurement to delivery
A key value driver of GADOT’s sourcing agency services lies in the seamless integration of logistics. GADOT assumes responsibility for:
- defining logistics requirements along the supply chain
- selecting and qualifying suitable logistics service providers
- managing price negotiations and contracts for transport and logistics services
- coordinating transport, handling, and, where required, warehousing
- managing purchase orders, call-offs, and delivery schedules
This ensures that product procurement and logistics are delivered as an integrated end-to-end solution.
Operational control & supply chain management
GADOT provides ongoing operational management of procurement and supply processes, including:
- management of purchase orders and transport orders
- coordination of schedules and quantities with all involved parties
- monitoring of supplier and logistics performance
- handling of payment and invoicing processes (subject to agreement)
Clear distinction is maintained between GADOT’s responsibility for its own performance and the performance of other involved parties, while maintaining a strong focus on optimizing overall supply chain performance.
CO₂e transparency & performance monitoring
As part of modern procurement and supply chain concepts, GADOT also integrates:
- collection of CO₂e data at product level (cradle-to-gate)
- CO₂e calculations for transport and logistics arrangements
- KPI-based performance monitoring
- deviation analyses, root cause analyses (RCA), and continuous improvement measures
This creates transparency, controllability, and sustainability across the entire procurement and supply chain.
Customer value – external expertise, reduced complexity
GADOT’s sourcing agency services are particularly suitable for customers who:
- wish to professionally outsource international procurement activities
- seek access to global suppliers and market expertise
- want to reduce internal resource requirements
- aim to manage procurement, logistics, and supply chains in an integrated manner
