On October 1st, 2008, Philips signed a new agreement with the Print Competence Center in Eindhoven. The goal of this agreement is to channel all Marketing and Sales print productions, through the PCC, including the supplier management for these print productions.
 
The Philips legal entity that applied for this contract is Philips International BV. This means that all Philips entities have access to and can make use of the PCC. In line with Philips’ overall purchasing policy, projects will be quoted for in competition whenever possible. In order to accomplish this for print, a process has been established ensuring that all print productions are produced within Philips’ high quality standards, at the lowest possible costs. Via this contract the PCC process is now the Philips preferred way of working for all Marketing & Sales print assignments.
