3 QUESTIONS TO MATTHIEU BAILS, SUPPLY CHAIN DIRECTOR AT BONTAZ GROUP

1. What is your background?

Matthieu BAILS : “I have spent my entire career in Supply Chain in the automotive sector. In 2010, I took a specialised master’s degree to perfect my knowledge of Supply Chain and to enter the world of industry. This is how I joined Valeo in 2011, a founding moment in my career, as I was immersed in the Lean concepts and Valeo’s best practices, which are unanimously recognised in the industrial and automotive sector. It was also during this time that I worked with Dominique HANQUIER (previously Project Purchasing Director at Valeo, now Group Purchasing Director at Bontaz).”

2. Why did you accept the Vice-Presidency of this association?

M.B. : “I wanted to be a committed and influential player in the Supply Chain + Association and more widely in the Supply Chain. Bontaz is thus at the heart of a young and promising association whose ambition is to become a reference label in the Supply Chain world, in France as well as internationally.”

3. Why is the Bontaz Group part of this association? What do you expect from it?


M.B. : “The Bontaz Group strengthens its reputation, its network and ensures that it is at the forefront of best practices and developments in the profession. In line with B1 Ambition 2030 (the Group’s strategic plan), I would like to be sure that the orientations that we give to the Bontaz Supply Chain are consistent with the best practices and trends of the automotive industry players, but also of other sectors that are more mature. In this way, I will be able to guarantee that the Bontaz Supply Chain will be among the “Best in Class” by 2030.”
