Purchasing Cooperation / Marketplace

Our aspiration is to pool the requirements of our member companies in order to negotiate optimal conditions for companies of different sizes and to ensure first-class support. In addition, we have set ourselves the goal of optimizing our clients' purchasing processes, whether by supporting special requests or providing support in negotiations of all kinds. With a broad network of cooperation partners, we cover a comprehensive range of required products and thus offer a solution for almost any requirement.

Our cooperation partners

For many years, we have maintained successful cooperations with renowned companies from various industries. These long-standing partnerships are based on trust, professionalism and shared goals. Through our proven services and our commitment, we have managed to establish framework agreements with our partners that enable stable and sustainable cooperation.

Via the Heacon app, we provide you with a listing of our cooperation partners, together with their range of services and the negotiated framework agreements. This gives you access to a broad network of partners and allows you to benefit from advantageous framework conditions.

Product categories

Our portfolio is divided into four product categories:

• Production & Laboratory – consumables and laboratory supplies for the manufacturing, research and development of pharmaceutical products.
• Logistics & Technology – transport and forwarding services tailored to the requirements of the pharmaceutical industry (temperature control, packaging, safety and quality controls).
• Marketing & Sales – market research, advertising, product advertising, public relations and direct marketing.
• Administration & IT – fleet management, management consulting, specialist literature, office supplies, office furnishings and training offerings.

Marketplace

On our marketplace, you can list materials you no longer need that could potentially be used by other companies. This promotes an efficient exchange of resources within our community. At the same time, you can search specifically for certain products and initiate product requests. The range of offerings extends from raw materials / chemicals / active ingredients through primary and secondary packaging materials to consumables and equipment.

The advantages of the material exchange for you:

• Reduction of capital tie-up
• Reduction of disposal costs
• Favorable purchasing conditions

Networking platform – purchasing managers' conference

Within the Heacon purchasing cooperation, intensive networking and communication among the participants is of central importance to us. That is why, more than 20 years ago, we launched a special purchasing managers' conference for our member companies in order to enable a continuous exchange of information and transfer of knowledge between the companies. In addition, we regularly organize online conferences for the members of the purchasing cooperation.
