This program, which was initiated in 1999, involves the selection of Valeo's best suppliers, with whom we establish a close relationship based on a constant drive to achieve excellence. The suppliers that attain VIP status are the ones that have demonstrated exceptional performance in terms of quality, overall competitiveness, productivity, global presence, service, innovation, and advanced technologies.
In order to continue the streamlining of its supplier base, Valeo has made the VIP program an essential part of its target panel strategy, concentrating on the best suppliers while reducing their total number.
These "best-in-class" suppliers are integrated in our projects at phase 0, with Group-wide visibility. What we expect from them is constant progress and innovation in order to ensure a high level of quality and competitiveness.
VIP Suppliers benefit not only from Valeo's overall growth, but also from its technological leadership. They also receive larger volume orders as we continue to streamline our supplier base.
