Suppliers

Suppliers play a significant role in Wärtsilä’s delivery process. Wärtsilä aims to deepen the partnerships with its suppliers in order to ensure that both parties have a mu­tual understanding of Wärtsilä’s strict process and product requirements. Apart from financial benefits, partnerships create added value for suppliers through the knowledge and development support Wärtsilä offers them. Successful partnership can also assist a local supplier in expanding internationally by becoming a part of Wärtsilä’s global supply chain.

In 2007 the value of goods, materials and services purchased by Wärtsilä was EUR 2,576 million.Wärtsilä has more than 3,700 active suppliers, most of whom are located in Europe where we have our main production units.  We are also continuously investing in developing a strong network in Asia.
