• We want to remain an independent family business.
• We want to be perceived as a technologically strong manufacturer with premium product quality, excellent service and high reliability.
• We are growing profitably – earnings take precedence over sales.
• We never see aspects one-dimensionally. Quality, service and costs must be in harmony.
• Change is normal for us.
• We focus on opportunities instead of concerns.
• We simply get things done. And finish things quickly. Only then do we generate benefits for the customer.
• We put corporate interests ahead of divisional or personal interests.
• We are better than the competition.
• We act with sustainability in mind for a measurable contribution to environmental and climate protection.

When we talk to each other and work together, we use language that maps these principles.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Our social responsibility has been one of our fundamental convictions since the very beginning. Our managers and shareholders play an exemplary role in this respect. We are involved across all sites – primarily at the regional level – by supporting organizations, programs and campaigns in a variety of ways. In doing so, we set specific focal points that we promote in a targeted manner.
For example, local sports activities, education for young people or support for disadvantaged groups. We firmly believe that this serves social cohesion and strengthens our common good.
