Aureon Trading and Consulting
Business, built differently.
Track record
Aureon is built on a career spent inside global automotive and industrial procurement — category management, advanced purchasing, global purchasing excellence, and full group procurement responsibility. Two of those organisations were listed automotive suppliers; the mandates stay under confidentiality, so they are not named here.
What transfers to a client is the method: how a category strategy is written, how a supplier is qualified, how an award is governed, and what a part should cost before anyone quotes it.
Materials. Components. Mobility.
We source, qualify and move physical goods — from raw polymer and metal through to finished components and complete vehicle programmes. The work is built on supplier audits, cost breakdowns and delivery commitments, not catalogues.
Seventeen years inside automotive procurement means we know where a supply chain actually breaks, and what a part should cost before anyone quotes it.
Experience. Perspective. Execution.
Advisory at Aureon is not a deck. It is a mandate with a defined scope, a named owner and a handover date. We take positions on pricing, suppliers, market entry and operating structure — and then stay to implement them.
Price is not made at the negotiating table. It is made in the preparation.
Operating principle — Aureon
Supplier quality and procurement, at one table.
Aureon brings together two perspectives that rarely sit at the same table: the quality engineer who audits the process, and the purchaser who negotiates the contract. For suppliers to automotive OEMs and Tier 1 companies, in Germany and abroad, this means fewer surprises in audits, in the field and in negotiations.
Two experts. One mission.
Joint expertise in quality, procurement and successful market development.
Gap analysis against IATF 16949 and customer requirements, VDA 6.3 audits, action plans that hold.
Structured gap analysis and lasting implementation of the VDA standards that matter to your customers.
Field failure analysis, NTF, 8D and root cause. Warranty cases, technical factor and cost negotiation.
Independent quality decisions under delivery pressure: responsibilities, escalation, release authority.
Protection of long supply chains, for example Asia to Europe: inspection before shipment, traceability, emergency plans.
From component supplier to module supplier: poka-yoke, end-of-line tests, traceability, ramp-up.
On-site support in OEM and Tier 1 task forces: sorting, rework, fast analysis, lasting measures.
Many suppliers stop planning at EOP. OEMs do not. Spare parts supply is typically required for around 15 years after end of production, and warranty terms are negotiated long before the first part ships. We make this part of your offer, not a surprise.
With a purchaser’s experience we know the questions before they are asked, and we prepare you with a question catalogue, an RFQ readiness check and a rehearsal of buyer conversations.
A structured first look on site: quality organisation, audit results, processes and priorities. It creates the basis for joint planning.
A fixed monthly volume of days for quality, customer care and business development, with a defined scope and monthly reporting.
Defined projects with a clear scope and handover: audits, field failure cases, supply chain protection, industrialization.
Selected mandates
Cost breakdowns and TCO models, so a price is argued from structure — not from a percentage target handed down by finance.
Risk scoring, second sources and localisation decided before a shortage forces the decision for you.
Award rules, contract standards and reporting that keep working after the mandate ends and the team runs it alone.
A vacancy covered in days. A category strategy in weeks. Neither waits for a hiring process to finish.
From product to transaction.
Selling is a system: catalogue, pricing, checkout, fulfilment, and the data that connects them. We build that system on Shopify and on B2B platforms, and connect it to the ERP and CRM that already run the business.
Catalogue structure, variants, specifications and pricing logic that hold up in B2B.
Quantity breaks, customer-specific rates, quote requests and tax handling across borders.
Payment, approval routing and a clean handoff into the systems that already run finance.
Stock sync, documents, shipping and the tracking the customer actually sees.
Digital experiences built around business.
We write the software ourselves. Interfaces, applications, integrations and the automation layer that removes the manual steps between systems — including where a model does the work a person used to.
Partners. Suppliers. Clients.
Audited manufacturing and material partners across polymers, metals and finished components.
Mid-market manufacturers, distributors and founder-led companies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Free-zone entity operating between European demand and Gulf and Asian supply.
