Due to the fundamental choice to adopt a product-driven and market-oriented commercial policy in the future, considerable changes have been made in our purchasing department. Where the commercial purchasing functions were part of the purchasing department, in June 2003 they were integrated in the Floréac BU1 and Floréac BU2 commercial departments. For more information on the commercial purchasing operation, see Floréac BU1 purchasing operations and Floréac BU2 purchasing operations. The Floréac range is put together based on the Floréac product policy All operational purchasing tasks are organised in 1 central purchasing department.
