We support all employees with the same variety of offers and measures in order to enshrine diversity as a permanent value in the corporate culture of KRAIBURG Relastec.
Customer focus
Customer focus is the foundation for lasting customer loyalty: it is a promise to our current and future customers that they are at the center of our thoughts and actions and that the entire company is committed to this goal. The basis for this customer focus is that each of our employees fulfills their customer-supplier relationship.
Quality philosophy
Continuous improvement is a core value for us and forms the basis for meeting the highest quality standards. We continuously optimize our processes, products, and services to improve quality and ensure excellent customer service. Our customers expect high-quality, functional, and safe products. We see customer service as more than just a task that ends when our products leave the factory premises; we also promise to be a competent partner at your side. Our quality management system, tailored to the individual needs of our customers, helps us to achieve these goals. The certification of our organization according to DIN EN ISO 9001 guarantees customer-oriented, structured, and solution-oriented processes. We view complaints processes as an opportunity and an obligation. Smooth processing of inquiries and complaints is crucial in this regard. Together with the customer, we find the right products for the desired applications. However, we are also honest about the possible disadvantages of our products or limitations in technical implementation.
Social responsibility
At KRAIBURG Relastec, social responsibility means more than merely complying with laws and legal requirements. Our employees are our greatest asset. That is why we pay attention to maintaining the health of our employees, to the ergonomics of their workplaces and to risk prevention when they are performing their tasks and strive for constant improvements. Fair pay and a commitment to pay in line with the collective pay agreement are just as much a given as further training measures, career advancement, and achieving a positive work-life integration. As one of the top employers in the Altmark, we are also conscious of our responsibility to the region.
Respectful behaviour
Respectful, open and appreciative interaction is the basis for good cooperation. This applies not only within the company, but also in our dealings with partners and suppliers. Courtesy is one of our core values and we accept the strengths and weaknesses of everyone in the company without trying to change or even educate someone. If there are disagreements or problems, we try to have a face-to-face discussion early on to clarify the situation and find a solution. We express our opinion without verbally attacking or offending our communication partner. We create trust for a long-term professional and business cooperation through honesty and reliability in what we do and say.
Decision-making power
Decisions are made based on our strategy and values. Feedback, suggestions and know-how from the teams are an integral part of the decision-making process. We base our decisions on facts and on our experiences. Once we have made a decision, it is supported by all those involved. However, if a decision turns out to be incorrect or wrong, we address this openly and correct it accordingly.
Responsibility for our actionsn
For us, taking responsibility means addressing and taking ownership of an issue. It involves doing was it necessary to complete tasks and overcome problems. Respect, dignity and empathy are the prerequisites in our error culture, as nobody likes to make mistakes, but making a mistake is human. Showing understanding and compassion when a project fails is the foundation of our error culture. We admit our mistakes and accept them, but do not forget to analyse these errors, learn from them and derive positive benefits from them.
Transparency
Open communication inside and outside our company is the basis for transparency in our dealings with employees, partners and suppliers of KRAIBURG Relastec. The management presents its actions to the teams in a comprehensible and justified way. This guarantees that everyone feels involved in the company’s decision-making processes. For us, transparency also means addressing employees’ concerns in a cross-hierarchical manner and resolving any problems promptly. We attach great importance to having a trusting relationship without our partners and suppliers. Here too, transparent communication is firmly entrenched as a corporate value. A positive public perception is important to us.
Sustainability
Sustainability has a long tradition at KRAIBURG Relastec and covers not only environmental, but also economic and social aspects. When KRAIBURG Relastec was founded, the intention was already to create new, useful and innovative products from existing resources. We are still contributing to cutting greenhouse gases and preserving a better environment.
