Success by open dialogue, mutual respect and clear objectives
Our success is closely linked to our employees’ eagerness to work, their creativity, and their professional and personal competence. Their ideas initiate changes and our further corporate growth. We both challenge and promote our workforce, and do our utmost to cultivate the best and inspire their enthusiasm for the company. Our open corporate culture creates the prevailing conditions for working effectively with each other on the basis of mutual trust.

Demand and promote
Our objective is to win specialists and executives, to advance them and to commit them to our company.
We produce instruments, which initiate corporate acting, honor effort and regard and promote the performance of every single person.
Therefore we have built up and standardized our worldwide human resources activities. Apart from appraisal dialogues we include, as far as possible, individual career planning – according to our motto “We promote, but demand as well.”

High performance needs opportunities to act
Working in our company is more than just a "job“. The personal commitment of every individual, his know-how and particular abilities in the team and his or her own work, along with our ideas, make up our most important capital in facing the competition. Our management principles are therefore based upon the effective delegation of responsibility and trustful collaboration.
