MOVING FORWARD WITH HAND AND HEART

We see ourself as a company group characterised by values that are shared throughout all our national and international companies and that are embraced in practice on a common basis.

What ever we do, we always keep our company values in mind. They are an essential orientation for our daily work and how we deal with our employees, colleagues, customers, suppliers and business partners.

Our shared community values are as follows:

/ Respect

We treat each other with respect and appreciation. We are open and honest. We listen and let others finish speaking. We give each other feedback and are open to the opinions of others.

We accept and respect cultural differences and diversity and see them as an opportunity for the positive development of our corporate culture. We do not tolerate our values being disregarded.

We communicate proactively, authentically, promptly and objectively, taking into account the personality and needs of our conversation partners. We actively work to build and maintain our relationships with colleagues and business partners.

/ Trust and Personal Responsibility

Mutual trust is the basis of successful cooperation. We trust in the personality, competence and potential of our employees and colleagues and we are prepared to assign and assume responsibility.

Our philosophy is to act as a role model. We set an example of the individual responsibility that we expect from our employees and colleagues. We reflect on our behaviour, develop our social and professional
skills on an ongoing basis and face up to change in an open-minded and flexible manner. We share our knowledge and offer support where it is needed.

We seek to continuously improve and develop. For this reason, we create space for improvement suggestions, new ideas and innovations.

We aspire to avoid mistakes. When mistakes occur, we deal with them in a trusting, open and constructive manner and we consider mistakes as an opportunity to learn. We focus on solutions and lasting learning
effects.

/ Team Spirit and Passion

We see ourselves as a team and strive for joint cross-company success. We actively support each other by offering help.

Joint success is always more important than personal advantage. We define realistic goals and celebrate our success.

We work towards achieving our common goals with enthusiasm and commitment.

/ Reliability

We do what we say we will do. We make realistic and true statements. We stand by our word and keep our promises. This applies both internally and externally. We can rely on each other. Our business partners can rely on us.

If, in individual cases, promises cannot be kept or implemented, we actively provide information about the reasons and offer alternatives and solutions at an early stage.

/ Social Responsibility

As a family business with a long tradition, we take social concerns into account when making our decisions.

It is our aim to ensure the needs of our company are aligned with the interests of our employees in the best possible way.

We are committed to perform our tasks preserving the environment and saving resources.

Our goals

Since its foundation in 1872, it has been and remains the declared goal of the owner families to manage and maintain Scheidt & Bachmann as a family business.
In order to achieve this, an important foundation is profitable growth through sustainable management and our constant will to adapt the company and ourselves to changing conditions.

Scheidt & Bachmann pursues a long-term strategy with the following goals:

/ Employee satisfaction

The knowledge and skills of our employees are the true capital of the company.

Motivation and identification of our employees with the company goals and values are therefore important prerequisites for our mutual success.

/ Customer orientation

In all our operations, we focus our awareness on the fact that our customers pay our salaries.

The economically reasonable service of customer requirements is our foundation.

In this spirit, every employee acts customer-oriented, internally and externally.

/ Innovation

Technical innovation has been a tradition since the company was founded.

We will continually invest in innovative products and solutions and constantly develop and maintain our technological lead in competition.

The constant questioning of our own products and the agile adaptation of our business models is our answer to emerging disruptive changes.

/ Internationality

“Think globally, act locally”. Local presence and understanding of country-specific needs and the acceptance of cultural differences are the key to international growth.

This also includes international interaction within the global Scheidt & Bachmann Group.
