A buyer is the link between the company and its suppliers.

Buyers have a very important influence on the logistics and the economics of the company. They are trained to deal with emergencies and to listen to other services (Quotation Department, Technical Office, Customer Support etc) in order to manage priorities and to optimise the delivery cycles of Customers orders.

Every day, they have to deal with the reduction of costs and delivery times.
RECAERO intends to develop real partnerships with its subcontractors and relies for that on its buyers. Indeed, a buyer is in direct contact with the subcontractors and thus is responsible for the correct transmission of data and for the follow up of quality problems.
