SUPPLY CHAIN RELATIONS

Grupo Lamosa recognizes that close collaboration with suppliers who are also committed to continuous improvement and sustainability is essential for operational continuity and customer satisfaction. Therefore, across its supply chain, the company maintains solid partnerships, built on trust and compliance with the highest industry quality standards.

Among its key suppliers are clay and glaze providers, which are crucial for ensuring the productivity and quality of the Tile Business. These suppliers account for approximately 70% of the total supply chain expenditure for this business unit.

Grupo Lamosa selects suppliers on the basis of critical criteria, including product quality, technical capability, service level and compliance with local regulations. Additionally, all suppliers must commit to the company’s Code of Ethics, ensuring that business relationships are conducted with integrity and responsibility.

To enhance quality standards throughout its supply chain, Grupo Lamosa is extending its Operational Excellence Model to its key suppliers. To this end, in collaboration with strategic areas such as Procurement and Marketing, the company has established evaluation criteria, which have been communicated to critical suppliers in Mexico, who are currently undergoing assessment.

This evaluation focuses on technical aspects, ensuring compliance with required specifications in product delivery and production performance. Supplier certifications supporting their commitment to quality are also considered.

Additionally, aligned with its sustainability vision, Grupo Lamosa is exploring the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria into its supplier evaluation process.

LOCAL SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENT

Grupo Lamosa actively supports local economic development by prioritizing suppliers located near its production centers and in the countries where it operates, in accordance with its Local Procurement Policy. The company also promotes supplier development programs to strengthen local businesses.

Through its participation in business chambers, such as the Mexican Center for Competitiveness (CCMX) and the Nuevo León Chamber of the Industry (CAINTRA), Grupo Lamosa engages in events designed to strengthen supply chains. These events bring together small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), including those within its supply network, offering training and fostering new business relationships.
