'Bosch Global Supplier Award' by Robert Bosch GmbH. Balluff won the award 
in the Indirect Procurement category. 
 
Bosch awards the prize in appreciation of outstanding achievements in the 
manufacture and supply of products or services. Managing Director Florian 
Hermle received the award on behalf of Balluff GmbH. As MD Florian Hermle 
commented at the award ceremony: 'We regard service and quality as the 
basis for successful customer relations. The award from Robert Bosch GmbH 
is a great honor for us and pays tribute to the excellent work of our Key 
Account Manager and his team.' 
 
In all, Bosch awarded prizes in five categories to 38 suppliers from nine 
countries. The technology and service company bestowed the Global Supplier 
Award for the thirteenth time this year. 
 
In 2012 Bosch Group reported global procurement figures of around 27 
billion euros. The procurement list includes production material, in 
particular electronic components, mechanical and electromechanical 
components and plastic parts. 
Procurement is focused on Europe with a share of around 65 percent of the 
total volume. 
 
'The Bosch Global Supplier Award is both a tribute and incentive. It is an 
accolade for the services of our top suppliers, and an incentive to all our 
other suppliers to aspire to excellence themselves', remarked Dr. Volkmar 
Denner, Chairman of the Bosch Board of Management, at the award ceremony in 
Stuttgart.
