FUCHS China Wins ACE Award: Safeguarding Customer Value with Strategic Resilience

Recently, the winners of ACE AWARDS 2026 were officially announced. FUCHS China has been awarded 2026 China Supply Chain Model Innovation Pioneer for its benchmark practices in digitally intelligent-driven supply chain management and end-to-end business transformation, highlighting its leading position in supply chain strategic layout, resilience building and digital transformation.

As a highly influential authoritative award in China’s supply chain sector, ACE AWARDS 2026 attracted over 300 participating enterprises. After four months of rigorous evaluation, FUCHS China stood out with its clear strategy, practical achievements amid geopolitical crises and systematic innovation.

FUCHS China has long regarded supply chain capability as a core strategic competitiveness. Rooted in the 3L Strategy (Local R&D, Local Procurement, Local Production) and powered by digital intelligence, FUCHS China has built a smart supply chain featuring flexible delivery, agile response, resilient control and low-carbon sustainability, supporting the long-term high-quality development of itself and its customers.

Faced with the complex landscape of escalating geopolitical conflicts and supply chain restructuring—especially extreme challenges such as volatile geopolitical situations in the Middle East and force majeure shocks to the global base oil supply chain—FUCHS China has rapidly implemented mechanisms including order prioritization, critical material supply security, and emergency R&D-procurement collaboration, relying on systems such as IBP, I/O safety stock optimization and end-to-end visibility. It has secured stable supply with strategic resilience, fully validating the practical capability of its smart supply chain. Meanwhile, FUCHS China has integrated business processes including sales budgeting, financial control and cost-price linkage, upgrading the supply chain from a cost center to a value creation center and driving steady business growth through supply chain resilience.

Based on long-term strategic accumulation and systematic capability building, FUCHS China has achieved solid results:

• More reliable supply assurance: Maintained an OTIF (On-Time In-Full) delivery rate of 97% and 100% delivery for key customers despite extreme market fluctuations, securing supply chain stability.
• Leaner operational efficiency: Reduced inventory days from 91 to 68 significantly through I/O safety stock and IBP integrated planning optimization, greatly improving capital turnover efficiency.
• More controllable cooperation risks: End-to-end visibility and IBP intelligent early warning enable customers to track order status and delivery progress in real time, reducing uncertainties.
• Optimized cost-effectiveness: Improved capital efficiency by 4.7%, helping customers lower total life-cycle procurement costs through lean supply chain management.
• Greater reassurance for long-term partners: Upgraded from the “China for China” to “China for Global” strategy, combining localized services with global network synergy to create sustainable value for customers.

This ACE Award is a high recognition of FUCHS China’s customer-centric supply chain innovation practices. Going forward, FUCHS China will continue to deepen the dual-driven strategy of digitalization and 3L Strategy, lead industry innovation and upgrading with stronger supply chain capabilities, deliver exceeding value to every customer, and become a trusted long-term strategic partner.
