Founded in 1954, the German Association for Materials Management, Purchasing and Logistics (BME) is the professional association for purchasers, supply chain managers and logistics specialists in Germany and continental Europe. It sees itself as a network partner for all industries and sectors, including manufacturing, trade, public institutions and finance. Its objectives include the transfer of know-how through a constant exchange of experience, the training and further education of qualified personnel, and scientific work on new methods, processes and techniques. In addition, the BME helps to open up new markets and shapes economic processes and global developments.

The BME looks back on a history spanning more than 60 years, during which its membership has grown to around 9,750 members (as of 31 December 2018) – from individuals to large companies. The volume of goods and services purchased by its members amounts to around 1.25 trillion euros annually. This corresponds to more than one third of Germany's gross domestic product.
