Huntsman revealed depending on the results, it will decide on rolling out the online tool further to all purchasers within the organization in Europe. According to the partnering companies, the Sourcing Portal will enable Huntsman to focus on streamlining the routine requesting of quotes for the so-called B, C and D raw materials; products that fall short of being extremely strategic to its operations but still represent a significant value. Huntsman revealed that by transferring all the correspondence with its approved suppliers into a digital environment, it hopes to improve the insight into its purchase options while maintaining face-to-face supplier interactions where relevant.
