Raw materials are finite, not always available, and difficult to extract and transport sustainably. In addition, there are disruptions due to globalization, technological issues and political decisions. These factors significantly alter the conditions that apply to the supply of raw materials and frequently confront our customers with new challenges. CREMER ERZKONTOR faces up to these change processes by developing future scenarios that enable our customers to pursue new paths.
The world of raw materials faces major challenges. Raw materials need to be sourced more sustainably, managed more efficiently, recycled and returned to the production cycle.
Our job is clear – change the status quo and bring about something new, together with suppliers, producers, logistics and customers. We inspire, present alternatives, improve processes and make room for ideas.
In short, we’re creating the future of our industry.
Our vision is to become the leading raw materials supplier, and to delight our customers with comprehensive, innovative and sustained performance that goes beyond conventional raw materials trading.
To achieve this objective, our company strategy relies on verticalization, diversification, sustainability and digitalization. Our focus is on new value added services throughout the entire value chain.
As an end-to-end supplier, we manage our customers’ raw materials supply across the board. The goal is to generate increased efficiency, greater economy and more transparency for our customers.
We achieve this through our well-founded expert knowledge and world¬wide network, our own processing and recycling plants, our capable supply chain, and state-of-the-art digital solutions.
Looking positively to the future.
Raw materials have been our world for over 100 years. During this time we have successfully met many challenges, and we will continue to do so going forward. Whether sustainable sourcing, recycling or the circular economy, we think and act in terms of solutions and go the extra mile –even if that takes us in new, unaccustomed directions. This is because we firmly believe that no problem is unsolvable.
Achieving more together.
Together we can achieve more. So we emphasize teamwork, coopera¬tion, respect and trust, both towards our customers and suppliers and within our team. We communicate honestly, suggest improvements respect¬fully, and are open to criticism. By discussing problems openly, we learn from each other.
Accepting challenges.
Our customers are confronted with changes in many areas. These include raw material scarcities, digitalization, regulations and numerous environmental requirements. As a partner operating on an equal footing, we anticipate and examine their needs, based on close communication and well-informed consulting. Proximity to the customer and a solution-oriented approach are the keys to shared success.
Enjoying the journey.
We know we’re great at what we do. So we go about our work with energy and confidence. And we keep at it even if things don’t work out the first time. After all, endurance is one of the keys to our success, just like the passion and enjoyment that we share as a team.
Subsidiaries, partner companies and contacts on almost every continent are key pillars in terms of both our business operations and our cultural exchange. But our headquarters are still located in one of German’s historically most important centers of business and commerce: the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.
