Meeting Agenda: Tariffs, StKr Feedback, Purchasing Request Form, Capacity Topic, Open Discussion
- Try to find products we imported in the last year from HQ that would justify an analysis of AL and/or steel components within the assembly group, suggest that to Thomas and let have our peers in Austria help us to analyze
- a. DurA and PalJ are checking the breakdown of assemblies for AL and Steel portions (because AL and steel have an additional tariff of 50%)
- b. RITTAL will increase more or less 2.4%
- -- meeting today in-house 09 Jul 2025
- -- Pricelist negotiated by HQ (ScrT) with RITTAL Germany (RITTAL HQ), but their US co-workers did not know anything about that, they will reach out internally and check
- -- no updates yet → FuMe is still clarifying that with AnyA
- -- Still waiting for Austria as well (HQ is also checking that with the global agreement between STIUS - Rittal US - ...)
- StKr feedback:
- a. company credit cards are used without a clear policy.
- b. Update company credit card policy (handbook). Coding the receipts are the issue (time consuming) – a PO should be created for everything
- c. Upcoming meeting is scheduled to decide on how we want to handle this going forward (meeting with StKr, SaSh and PhAn)
- d. Jira point was created by Steffi → sent out to PhAn and StKr to fix a limit if possible → StKr plans to mention this when BeGd is visiting next week

- Purchasing Request Form / Investment Request Form:
- a. discussed to use these forms again like in the past
- b. threshold $5k for investments
- c. KaSt will update the instructions document
- d. Goal to use AP+ for investment requests in the future (with or without investment budget)
- e. This depends on the Credit Card topic above and will be updated with the decision on investments and max. payments allowed without approval
- f. See Jira Task below (GENUS-72)
- Capacity topic:
- a. a combination of
- -- Training from KaSt
- -- JIRA points (JIRA is new to both Shelia and Melissa) → Steffi and Aaron trained Shelia and Melissa on JIRA
- -- approx. 30-40% of their time is occupied by work which is not typical work
- --- this is most likely changing in 1-2 months from now.
- --- will be monitored
- -- pallets in the back → Kutora in touch with Egger Woods for container
- a. oversized and reinforced pallets will be picked up afterwards by the same company (maybe) as back then in FOR1
