„On site with our customers“

is our service claim, which we would like to meet with our different branch offices. In addition to our headquarters in Hattingen, we are also available to our customers in northern Germany with our branch NORD and in the Kassel area with our branch MITTE.

Helpfulness

We attach great importance to helpfulness and this is not just a value, but is also lived out in practice in the company. This is demonstrated, among other things, by the fact that we are aware of our social responsibility and regularly support aid organisations and projects such as "Die Arche e. V.", "Die Deutsche Welthungerhilfe e. V." or "Stiftung Deutsche Kinderkrebshilfe".

Future-oriented

As a recognised training company of the IHK, we are happy to invest in the skilled workers of tomorrow and help them start their careers. We regularly provide training in the technical and commercial fields.

Staff units

With our internal staff units, we ensure that we can provide our clients with the best possible service. These communication points offer our customers a direct contact person for questions and concerns. This not only improves reliability for our clients, but also our internal processes and the working environment of our employees.

Mentors

Our mentoring programme for technical staff ensures that each colleague has a mentor who guides them and supports them as an internal contact person. This ensures the quality of our work and the effective transfer of knowledge within the company.

Keyaccount

We understand that some clients have special requirements and want an individual contact person. Therefore, we offer our key account customers with an annual turnover of €60,000 or more the support of a direct contact person. Our goal is to provide the best possible customer care, and our key account service helps us to achieve this goal.
