Growth and success-oriented, we place a high priority on sustainable business, the quality of our products and processes, and excellent customer satisfaction. The Winkelmann Group currently comprises 25 legally independent business units, employing approx. 4,000 staff worldwide, staff who form the basis for and guarantee of our business success. The Management Heinrich Winkelmann, CEO Managing partner As a partner, director and fourth-generation company owner, Heinrich Winkelmann runs the Winkelmann Group with the strategic objective of always offering the group’s customers outstanding, state-of-the-art products. Christian Knechtel, CFO Executive director As an executive director, Christian Knechtel is responsible for ensuring the efficient use of company resources, ongoing optimisation of business processes and managing the group’s financial processes both nationally and internationally. Company History More than one hundred years ago, Heinrich Winkelmann and Caspar Pannhoff founded an independent workshop producing goods for the enamel industry. The business grew rapidly over the years to become a highly advanced SME, which is still today headquartered in the town of Ahlen in Westphalia. Winkelmann + Pannhoff GmbH Umformtechnik always operated unostentatiously and diversified by founding manageable, sales-oriented subsidiaries. During the expansion phase in particular, the founders were careful to ensure that production efficiency, research and development in the relevant product segment and technical perfection in the production process always remained a key focus. The young company was not satisfied with simply mastering and consolidating existing knowledge acquired from elsewhere, but was keen to face up to the challenge posed by and keep pace with the rapid growth in knowledge. The company’s success has more than justified the approach taken by the founders and their successors. For this family business, staff welfare and workplace safety were important considerations. The commitment and loyalty of our employees was and remains of fundamental importance in meeting past and future business challenges. Our company philosophy has always been to treat our suppliers and business partners fairly and to show them loyalty, and that remains just as true today.

We would like to help. » Contact Form » back to top Winkelmann Group The Winkelmann Group’s three divisions have evolved through the continuous development and application of our expertise across a range of metal forming techniques. From automotive, to heating + water, to aerospace, many of the components required in these sectors are manufactured using our core competence – technologically advanced metal forming processes. These three divisions are supported by our procurement unit, which undertakes strategic purchasing for the group as a whole and ensures that we are able to successfully deliver material requirements planning and just-in-time provision of steel products manufactured from flat steel. Automotive The Winkelmann Group’s automotive division combines more than 100 years of accumulated expertise in metal forming techniques with outstanding joining and coating acumen, innovative plastics technology and unconventional rubber and viscose-based torsional vibration solutions. The companies in this division are leading global suppliers of system components for all major car manufacturers and set new standards of innovation and quality. Building + Industry The companies in the Winkelmann Group’s Building + Industry division are synonymous with expertise, innovation and reliability. Our in-house R&D, collaboration with research institutions and the latest production techniques mean that our heating, energy and systems engineering products are always at the technological cutting edge. Our expert staff ensure that customers from the heavy industry, plant engineering, engineering, specialist wholesale and specialist workshop sectors receive personalised advice and custom products. Flowforming The broad portfolio of products offered by Winkelmann MSR Technology, part of the division Flowforming, are used in a wide range of industrial sectors. Their manufacture is a high precision process. Industries served range from aerospace, vehicle manufacturing and defence to more general industrial applications. Our rotationally symmetrical products are produced using forming techniques such as flow forming, roughing and deep drawing. The advantages of components produced using forming techniques over products manufactured using other techniques include low material wastage, high end product strength (as a result of the material being cold worked) and reduced weight.

Winkelmann Metal Solutions GmbH Ahlen, Deutschland Website Procurement Procurement Organisation Suppliers Code Purchasing platform (WiPrO) Contact Enquiry Downloads Do you have a question? We would like to help. » Contact Form » back to top Developing and manufacturing innovative, competitive products for our globally active customers requires outstanding dedication from all Winkelmann Group companies and sites and constant openness to new ideas from every corner of the world. To meet this requirement, we need highly capable, reliable suppliers. On average 50% of Winkelmann Group turnover is comprised of raw materials and services purchased externally. Our success is therefore highly dependent on the capabilities of our selected suppliers. Your Perspective We are always on the lookout for new, highly capable suppliers, who are prepared to make a major contribution to the success of our company. In return, we offer partner businesses excellent growth prospects and a long-term trust-based business relationship with a solid, internationally-oriented group of companies. We expect our suppliers to work in genuine partnership with us – we demand a lot from our partners. What we expect: • deadlines to be honoured and flexibility • responsibility to be taken for quality • cost transparency and improvements • environmental and social responsibility • product and service innovation Procurement Organisation The Winkelmann Group is a group of companies made up of multiple companies and factories with their own operational structures. Strategic management and coordination of procurement is the responsibility of the head of strategic procurement and four product group managers. The procurement organisation thus consists of clearly focused units – multi-site strategic procurement and site-specific Operational Procurement. The Strategic Procurement team is responsible for procuring key material groups such as raw materials, energy, etc. By bundling demand from multiple sites and sourcing materials and services globally, we aim to systematically realise synergies and exploit potential for cost reductions. The site-based Operational Procurement teams are responsible for procuring materials for day-to-day operational requirements, always in coordination with the Strategic Procurement unit. They form the direct link between internal points of consumption and our suppliers. Suppliers Code Our company’s social and environmental responsibilities are increasingly coming to include our choice of business partner, in particular suppliers and service providers. The Winkelmann Group’s head of Strategic Procurement has therefore decreed that, in addition to price, quality and reliability of supply, environmental and social factors must also be taken into account when selecting suppliers. Since May 1, 2010, a Winkelmann Group Suppliers Code defines requirements which must be met by suppliers of goods, capital goods and services. The core points of the code are ethical conduct, respect for human rights, socially acceptable working conditions, adherence to environmental standards and the use of management systems. The principles set out in this code reflect the Winkelmann Group’s mission and are based on the following international conventions and standards: • The principles of the United Nations Global Compact • The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) guidelines for multinational enterprises • International Labour Organisation (ILO) agreements • The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Business Charter for Sustainable Development • SA 8000 (standard for socially responsible company management) The Winkelmann Group expects its suppliers to promote adherence to these principles in their own supply chains.

Privacy video surveillance Video surveillance privacy police We use video surveillance on the property used by us. Purpose of video surveillance and legal basis Video surveillance is used to exercise the householder’s rights, to avoid criminal offences and to preserve evidence in the case of criminal offences. The legal basis for video surveillance is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO, whereby our interests arise from the aforementioned purposes. Recipients/Disclosure of data The data is passed on to service providers commissioned by us who perform monitoring tasks for our company. In the event of suspicion of criminal acts, we may also pass on the data to law enforcement authorities. Otherwise the data will only be passed on if there is a legal basis for transfer of data. This may be the case in particular if the police or other security authorities take action within the framework of so-called danger prevention and demand access to the video surveillance data. Data processing outside the European Union A processing of personal data does not take place in the context of video surveillance. Data protection officer We have appointed the following data protection officer: AVIATICS Cost & Safety Management GmbH & Co. KG – Data Protection Officer – Kieshecker Weg 148 40468 Düsseldorf E-mail: datenschutz@winkelmann.de Your rights as a person concerned You have the right to obtain information about your personal data.

Finally, you have the right to object to the processing within the framework of the statutory provisions. A right to data transfer also exists within the framework of data protection regulations. Deletion of data Data from video surveillance is deleted after 72 hours. A longer storage can take place when the occasion arises, if facts justify the assumption that actions are to be seen on recordings from a limited period of time, which are to be pursued as a criminal offence or used for the assertion of civil law claims. In the event of the absence or illness of the responsible personnel, video recordings may be made for up to 10 days in individual cases. Right of appeal to a supervisory authority You have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of personal data by us.

KG Heinrich-Winkelmann-Platz 1 59227 Ahlen Germany Phone: +49 (23 82) 856-0 Mail: datenschutz@winkelmann-group.de Website: www.winkelmann-group.de The controller’s Data Protection Officer is: AVIATICS Cost & Safety Management GmbH & Co. KG Branch office Düsseldorf Kieshecker Weg 148 40468 Düsseldorf Deutschland Mail: datenschutz@aviatics.de Which data categories do we as company use in the supplier area and where do they come from? The processed categories of personal data are your master data (as first name, last name, name affixe(s), nationality) and your contact data (private address, telephone number, mobile phone number, e-mail). In general your personal data will be collected during your company presentation and/or master data compilation or during the tender process. In certain situations your personal data may be collected otherwise due to a risk evaluation / credit worthiness check. For which purposes and due to which legal basis will your data be processed? We process your personal data with regard to the legal provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation, Federal Data Protection Act as well as all decisive laws. The processing of data is essentially for the justification, realization and ending of the business relationship. The legal foundation therefor is art. 6 par. 1b) GDPR. It is possible that your special compliance according to art. 6 par. 1a), 7 GDPR can be used as data protectional admission prescription. If necessary we will process your data according to art. 6 par. 1f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties (e.g. agencies/authorities). This is valid for our corporate group for enterprise controlling, internal communication and other administration purposes. Beyond that we have to compare your data with the so called “EU-terror-list” (European order against terrorism 2580/2001 and 881/2002), to guarantee that no investments are made or that no other economic resources are for terroristic purposes. We will inform you in advance, if we use your personal data for any other purpose. Who receives your data? Inside our company only the people and departments who need your personal data to fulfill our contractual and legal duties receive your data. Inside our company/corporate group your data will only be transferred to certain other companies if those attend data processing tasks for companies which are related to our corporate group (e.g. file disposal). Besides we consider different service providers for the fulfillment of our contractual and legal duties. Which data protection laws can you as person involved assert? You can request information about your stored personal data under the address named above. Furthermore you can request the adjustment and removal of your data under certain circumstances. Additionally you are entitled to restrict processing of your data as well as to receive a copy of your provided data in a structured, established and machine-readable form. Right of objection You have the right to object the processing of your personal data for the purpose of direct mail without any declaration of reasons.

Where can you lodge a complaint? It is possible to lodge a complaint with our controller for data protection or with a data protection regulatory authority. For how long will your data be saved? We will delete your personal data, if we do not need them any longer for the purposes mentioned above. After ending our business relation your data will be saved as long as we are legally committed to keep them. This is due to regular legal accountability and obligation to preserve business records, which are arranged in the (German) commercial code and the general tax code. The time limit for data saving is up to ten years according to both codes. Besides it is possible that personal data is stored for a period of time if a claim is filed against us (legal period of limitation from three years on, up to thirty years). Will your data be transferred to a third country? If we transfer personal data to service providers or corporate companies outside the European economic area, the transmission only occurs if the EU-commission confirms that the third country has an appropriate level of data protection and data protection guarantees (e.g. binding internal data protection laws or standard European contract clauses). You can request additional information to this matter under the enclosed contact data of this information sheet. Are you committed to submit your personal data? You have to submit your personal data within the context of our business relationship for the justification, realization and ending of our partnership and the fulfillment of involved contractual duties or for legal collection.
