Our Philosophy
We are consistently driven by the following aims in all areas of our company. This applies today and for the future:
We are partners to our customers.
The success of our customers has been our driving force for more than 30 years. Top quality and competence in the field of processing, machining and assembly are self-evident for us. We want our customers to be able to rely on us completely. Therefore, we carefully listen to them and we strictly adapt to their needs. Together we develop customized solutions and adapt to any requirements to be able to obtain optimal coordination between the vehicle chassis, requirements and body.
Our own team for quality management also guarantees optimum control of all project specifications and we ensure 100% traceability.
Our employees are our greatest assets.
We continuously invest in state-of-the-art machinery, production locations and product innovations.
However, only our employees are a guarantee for the future of our company. For this reason we are especially active in education and training, ensuring the constant improvement of all our employees‘ qualifications.
We are committed to the health and wellbeing of our employees. For this reason we provide modern, safe and ergonomically equipped workplaces in all our production plants.
We care for the environment.
The economic success of our company must not be achieved at the expense of the environment. Because we represent a large enterprise, we are aware of our responsibility for the future of the planet. Sustainability is not a blank slogan for us, but a standard which we are committed to in our daily activities. That‘s why we do everything to ensure that our production processes save natural resources and are carried out with maximum consistency. We do this, for example, through the implementation of environmentally-friendly processes and materials such as nano-ceramic pre-treatment or the wooden floors made of screen-printed boards.
