TAMBOUR
Although the procurement team remains small at Tambour , with 10 individuals in total , Rosenberg has built a team which is significantly strategic . Incorporating two purchasing managers , the team is divided into two sub-groups ( or teams ) to provide services to most of the departments at Tambour . Whilst one team looks at finished products , the second looks after all spend across the business .
“ This can incorporate office products , catering , car leasing , telephones , procurements for marketing , sales , HR , IT , finance , laboratories etc . Within the core of the business , this can include raw materials , packaging materials , finished goods , produced finished goods , purchased finished goods etc .,” reflects Rosenberg .
“ The success of Tambour depends on our performance . And my people feel it with every single millimeter of their bodies that they have the chance to influence this . Every good performance is directly influencing the bottom line of the company .”
Brand presence
Working very much as a family
unit , the procurement team at Tambour consistently supports one another despite ongoing challenges in such a dynamic market .
“ Such challenges are the euro and dollar rate exchange , as well as the market for materials , crude oil prices and energy prices , which are continually rising , to name a few ,” comments Rosenberg .
Nonetheless , the strength of Tambour remains strong , where people connect the brand to quality and employee satisfaction .
“ Despite a lot of previous owners , we remain an Israeli company , which makes us unique ,” concludes Rosenberg .
“ Even if we are selling globally and have facilities in other parts of the world , we will continue to retain this original Israeli asset now and in the future .” 144 April 2018
