Strategic Sourcing
We are a strategic sourcing function focused on solutions-oriented suppliers that provide goods and services to Cargill. Our approach is to leverage indirect and direct, non raw material spending through cross-business collaboration and purchasing execution. This includes, but is not limited to, such areas of spending as the following:
- Maintenance as well as plant equipment and services
- Chemicals & processing aids
- Non-traded ingredients
- Packaging
- Corporate materials and services, including information technology
