Global brand image

A global leader in the high-end glass and decoration segment, Saverglass has built up an international brand image that is recognized by operators across the market. In both purchasing and sales relationships, this image of quality and service is a decisive factor for employees and a key requirement for living up to the Group's reputation.

Saverglass ambassadors

The Market Managers (sales team) and Market Assistants (sales administrators) work in tandem as Saverglass client ambassadors. They lead the four subsidiaries and seven representative offices which have seen the Saverglass flag raised on nearly all continents, as well as four French subsidiaries in Cognac, Champagne, Provence, and Armagnac. They work as a team with the Product Quality Managers (PQM), who handle the technical and sales side of the relationship with the client.

Purchasing: a focus on both price and quality

Purchasing (over €150 million per year) is a key area for Saverglass in terms of effectively managing costs and quality. Employees’ performance responds to this dual requirement. The Purchasers and Assistants work together to choose the best suppliers in terms of quality and optimize the Group's purchases.

Examples of job posts

Purchaser

Managing costs and guaranteeing quality

With a volume of €150 million per year, purchasing is a key factor for Saverglass in managing costs. From operating costs to investments, the purchaser ensures the quality of the products and services ordered. This double requirement means that purchasers are responsible for preparing, negotiating, setting up and monitoring Group purchases within the product families entrusted to them: energy, raw materials, investments, transport, molds, packaging, consumables, etc.

A global overview of the purchasing process

Even though purchasers must show determination in their transactions, their mission is not limited to negotiating prices. Their job includes: qualitative research on new products and suppliers (sourcing); securing contracts through thorough and accurate preparations; rigorous management of payment conditions, deadlines and procedures for orders; monitoring of service quality and any complaints with suppliers.
