International work environment
Varied tasks
Collegial cooperation
Our working together benefits the individual as well as the company.
How we interact with each other
Our colleagues, each in his or her own special way, are characterised by competence, motivation, team spirit and identification with the family-operated company. We promote these characteristics by implementing flat hierarchies and short decision-making processes, opportunities to have a say in the company as well as individual further training opportunities. Open, respectful and proactive communication is key to our work environment. It is therefore an essential component to successfully fulfilling the daily, ever-changing challenges of our diverse business. We strive to achieve such cooperation within the teams and with the executive managers. This applies not only to our day-to-day work but also to one-on-one feedback-meetings between the staff and executive managers at least once a year. The purpose of the meeting is to facilitate an open exchange of information about operational matters, objectives, targets, collaboration and development in the past and in the upcoming year.
