GUIDE FOR SUPPLIERS
2021 Edition Updated August
A MESSAGE FROM CHRIS LEWIS
Dear Valued Supplier, Work continues to transform the supply chain supporting Ahold Delhaize USA’s local brands into an integrated self-distribution model, positioning all Ahold Delhaize USA companies and their supplier partners for omnichannel growth. As this journey continues over the next several years, Ahold Delhaize USA companies strive to be your retailers of choice and make transitions as seamless as possible. This Vendor Toolkit is one of many examples of the work being done to increase ease of doing business with Ahold Delhaize USA companies. In the subsequent pages you will find comprehensive information to help guide you through the transformation, including the specifics around facility transitions and the context, scope, timing, and details of each. This toolkit will continue to evolve as this transformation continues the journey toward self-distribution. As new information becomes available, this document will also evolve. You will also be provided with additional important information through other channels like webinars and emails. If you’re not already subscribed to the Retail Business Services Vendor Portal, I encourage you and your team to sign up. The Vendor Portal can be found on the Retail Business Services website under the Vendors tab. Registration takes less than a minute, and access is granted instantly. Within the Vendor Portal, you can find a Self-Distribution tile, which houses this toolkit and many other tools and resources related to the transformation. If you need additional information or have suggestions for ways we can continue to enhance our partnerships, please reach out to any of the contacts found in this toolkit or your brand category representatives. We look forward to driving mutual business growth and appreciate your support as we together maximize the capabilities of one of the largest supply chain networks on the East Coast.
“As this journey continues over the next several years, Ahold Delhaize USA companies strive to be your retailers of choice and make transitions as seamless as possible.”
