Volkswagen Group

Snows has been the approved supplier of print to the Volkswagen Group dealer networks for over 20 years. In November 2002 approval for the supply of documentation to head office was also secured via an in depth tendering process.

In November 2002 Volkswagen brand also launched their new VI (Visual Identity) which meant that as well as taking on the contract for supply, Snows were also responsible for implementing the new VI across head office and the retailer network, partnering with integrity, Volkswagen Groups' VI Agency.

Snows' ability to work in partnership with other contracted companies such as design and creative agencies has ensured that time sensitive projects are completed within specified deadlines and to the satisfaction of Volkswagen Group with very little need for their involvement. This was the case with the launch of the new VI as on the required day Snows sent a team of people to Volkswagen Group headquarters to remove all obsolete stock and replace with new VI stock.

Since winning the contract to supply the Group as a whole Snows has improved the processes throughout the supply chain and provided cost savings across the product range. In addition ordering mechanisms have been improved; e.g. all business card orders are now placed using the eprint online proofing and ordering system reducing the lead time to 5 working days.

In recent years Snows has taken on the supply of all training material across the four brands Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Skoda. This major step forward has been as a result of the relationship with the Audi Academy.
