At GPV, strong partnerships are essential for our ability to deliver high-quality, reliable, and resilient solutions to our customers worldwide. Our suppliers play an important role in ensuring stability, transparency, and operational excellence across our global value chain.
On 24 November 2025, we celebrated our Excellence Partners of the Year across six categories, recognising their performance, reliability, and collaboration during a year defined by both complexity and opportunity in global markets.
Partnerships that Strengthen the Entire Value Chain
“In GPV, strong partnerships are the foundation of great customer experiences. Our Excellence Partners continuously show how proactivity, dedication, and a shared ambition can lift performance across the entire value chain,” says Thomas Kaiser, CBO at GPV.
“Together, we continue to navigate global markets and create strong, resilient value chains to the benefit of our customers.”
This year’s award recipients exemplify what Supplier Excellence means in practice, not only meeting expectations, but actively contributing to innovation, agility, and a more robust global sourcing setup.
Supplier Excellence as a Cornerstone of Resilience
Collaboration is deeply rooted in our Supplier Partner Programme, which outlines how we work together to ensure quality, transparency, and continuous improvement.
The programme establishes shared standards for performance, communication, and long-term partnership development, supporting a resilient and predictable supply chain across our global footprint.
“A resilient supply chain is built on trust, transparency, and close collaboration — the core principles of our Supplier Partner Programme,” explains Jaroslav Kuzilek, VP, Global Sourcing at GPV.
“Our Excellence Partners have demonstrated exceptional performance, responsiveness, and a strong commitment to continuous improvement. The global supply chain continues to be affected by tariffs, trade tensions, and geopolitical uncertainty, and our Excellence Partners help strengthen our global operations every day through their dedication to quality, transparency, and reliability.”
