Collaborative partnerships

Collaborative partnerships with suppliers are essential for EJOT's success.
Our customers expect top performance from us. This is why we set a high standard for the quality and service of our suppliers. As part of value creation and the supply chain, they are essential factors in our success. 
We consider our suppliers as partners with whom we would like to co-operate faithfully and pragmatically in the long term.
For EJOT the long-term availability of the materials and raw components used, as well as open, timely communication about any changes that may arise, is the essential basis for a working customer-supplier relationship.
This includes, among other things, information about raw materials and substances processed for IMDS, REACH and other substance blacklists. (Material Compliance)

EJOT Material Compliance requirements:

Material Compliance (MC) denotes the compliance with environmental and material-related specifications resulting from international laws, standards, directives (REACH, RoHS, conflict minerals, etc.) in addition to customer and market requirements.
