Global Procurement at BENTELER

We rely for our success on our employees, their competences and first-class performance. In close cooperation with our international customers we develop tailor-made ideas and solutions. Underpinning all this is a constant exchange between Global Procurement, our divisions and our suppliers. In this way we ensure that our customers can rely on our products and services.

Our main goal is to achieve optimal performance in all areas. To ensure faster responses to purchasing inquiries and requirements, we have implemented a digital assistant.

This assistant handles orders and contacts you using the sender address digitalassistant.procurement@ext.benteler.com. We have partnered with BOTfriends, an external company, to provide this service. As a result, you will be redirected to the website benteler.botfriendsx.com.

What should you keep in mind? Just one important point: Please check your systems to ensure that emails from the sender don't end up in the spam folder and that the website is accessible (consider whitelisting).

Additionally, please note that you cannot send reply emails to the above-mentioned address.

We appreciate your assistance in continuously optimizing our processes for your benefit!
