Kimberly-Clark names Voith Paper ‘2012 Supplier of the Year’

Kimberly-Clark Corporation (KC) has named Voith Paper’s fabrics and roll systems unit ‘2012 Supplier of the Year’. Voith Paper’s ongoing advancements in fabric technology was the key factor in KC’s selection of Voith for the award.

 
 

Voith also supports KC with a Total Roll Management program and tissue cylinder service that has helped the tissue maker stay out in front in a very competitive marketplace. “Voith Paper is part of a very elite group by being selected as one of Kimberly-Clark’s top seven suppliers around the globe,” said Cynthia Dautrich, global procurement officer for Kimberly-Clark. “Voith serves as an exemplary model of what Kimberly-Clark values in supplier performance and is helping provide a framework to develop and implement best practices.”

A Global Supplier Criterion was followed to identify, evaluate and select the top vendors from its 75,000 global vendors that demonstrates above and beyond compliance of reliable on time delivery, quality performance,
sustainability and innovation, among other factors.

“We’re honored to receive this award from Kimberly-Clark, one of our highly valued customers,” said John Fox, Senior Vice President at Voith Paper. “It’s gratifying to be recognized and to know that our products and
services truly help advance our customers’ position in the market.”
