Hornbach enhances Far East procurement channels

New import handling office in Hong Kong promotes further development and
quality of DIY group's international merchandise procurement

Bornheim bei Landau/Pfalz, August 28, 2014.

Hornbach-Baumarkt-AG has launched operations at an import handling office
in Hong Kong. The DIY group is thus further extending its purchasing
competence and quality management in South-East Asian procurement markets.

The procurement company Hornbach Asia Ltd. is tailored to meet the specific
needs of the Hornbach-Baumarkt-AG Group, which operates a current total of
144 DIY megastores with garden centers in nine European countries. One of
Hornbach's objectives here is to improve the lines of communication with
production sites in its international merchandise procurement and further
optimize its procurement logistics. Not only that, the new interface with
suppliers will enable Hornbach to promote quality management directly on
location. The Managing Director of Hornbach Asia Ltd. is Nikolaus Soukup, a
longstanding Hornbach employee who has held several leading positions, most
recently as head of procurement in Romania.
