Where you can truly make a difference
The Neways Electronics procurement team plays a crucial role in insuring that Neways has a resilient supply chain in place with which it can make an impact for the success of their customers. This goes beyond the traditional logistic and cost focus and evolves to de-risking the supply base, driving sustainability and innovation.
Procurement is about much more than just buying supplies.
At its core, procurement ensures that we have a supply chain in place that ensures we can make an impact on the success of our customers. All the goods and services Neways needs to produce for its customers need to be delivered on time, at the right cost, and with the right quality. But it’s far more than that—it’s also about collaboration and driving innovation with suppliers. Over the years, Neways has evolved into a producer of highly advanced, complete systems. We now source from major global suppliers and manage a supply chain spanning more than 50.000 articles, thousands of suppliers and over 500 brands. It’s an incredibly complex network.
Here at Neways, we create products from start to finish, all according to high-tech requirements. Beyond production, everything is thoroughly tested and simulated before leaving our facility. Procuring the necessary materials for such high-quality production processes isn’t as easy as it is. It requires constant communication and negotiation with suppliers to secure the best deals for the company.

Collaboration with suppliers unlocks new insights
Working closely with suppliers often provides valuable insights and helps us improve how we operate. For instance, could we automate certain processes? Or how can we leverage the expertise of our suppliers, who work with many other companies and industries beyond us?
Beyond ensuring smooth purchasing operations, our department is also focused on optimizing the supply base. Neways operates in a high-complexity environment, producing cutting-edge products. This raises key questions: How can we get more out of our existing suppliers? Do we need new suppliers? How can we approach procurement even more intelligently?
What sets Neways apart is the tangible impact you can have here
Negotiation is a big part of the process. How do you determine if an offer is truly the best? And are we buying from the right supplier? This is all part of the negotiation process—a strategic game that makes procurement exciting. What sets Neways apart is the tangible impact you can have here. As a team, our purchases influence 60–70% of the company’s revenue.
Neways is big enough to engage in serious negotiations with suppliers, yet small enough that individual buyers can directly shape outcomes. At other companies, you might handle only a small piece of a much larger puzzle, but at Neways, you can determine the size of your impact. Here, creativity thrives, and you’re at the center of everything—like a spider in its web.
At Neways, you’re part of a global puzzle
One of the most exciting aspects of procurement at Neways is the global dimension. With offices in the Netherlands, Germany, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Malaysia, and China, we operate as one team, and we frequently collaborate with colleagues across borders. On the one hand, there’s the familiarity of working locally, where you see and know everyone. On the other hand, you’re also connected to a global network, solving puzzles together to achieve the best results.
That balance—combining local intimacy with global reach—is where you can truly make a difference. Plus, Neways is continuously growing. Year after year. And procurement grows along with it. Together as a team we are building a department that is set for the future.
