Company Principles
TRUMPF is one of the world's foremost technology companies and stands for quality, excellent products, highly efficient processes and outstanding results. The success of our company derives from the fact that we live common values and aspire to shared objectives. The company principles are intended to contribute towards clarifying these values and objectives and to make them an integral part of the company. They therefore describe the nature and scale of our activities and the way we treat one another. They are binding at all times for everyone who works in the company.
Our Principles
We are a family-owned company. The readiness to fully commit oneself to the company in good times as well as bad is something that applies in equal measure to everyone who works for it. We want to remain independent. Growth by our own efforts is decisive in this regard. Geographical proximity to our customers is essential. Still, a powerful headquarter is necessary. All our dealings are marked by fairness, moderation, and trust.
Our Objectives
We want to satisfy our customers, employees, owners and society in equal measure. In each of our sectors of activity we are leaders on a world scale, in terms of both technology and organization. We strive to achieve continuous growth that is far above average for the sectors in which we are active. We aim for a net operating margin that enables us to afford our high expenditure on research and development as well as investments made by our own efforts. Our activities both inside and outside our company reflect commitment, trust, openness and sustainability.
Our Employees
The same high performance and quality expectations followed by the entire company are also placed on our employees. The safeguarding of jobs is a high priority for us. As well as a fair system of remuneration. We promote our employees' personal and professional competence. Creative freedom is just as important as a readiness to express as well as to accept fair criticism. We see to the protection of the company's intellectual and material property. Our behaviour should be marked by mutual respect.
Our Management Style
We accord leadership responsibility to those employees who embody the values of our company.
We expect our managers to show initiative and self-confidence.
Managerial ability derives from personal and professional competence. The commitment to innovation applies to every part of the company.
Our managers include their employees in decision-making processes. Communication between managers and employees is marked by politeness, respect and trust.
The behaviour of our managers should set an example to the employees entrusted to them.
Our Responsibility to Society
We are committed to a free basic order, a fair market economy and free competition. We abide by the laws of the countries in which we are located and respect their cultures. At all its locations, TRUMPF makes a special contribution to the community. Here, we support innovative ideas and projects that drive social development forward. In our company we will not tolerate any form of discrimination. Free trade is only possible if one gains the approval and agreement of society for one's activities. Communication with those in close proximity to us is thus our entrepreneurial task. And we have a strong sense of commitment to job safety, occupational healthcare and environmental protection.
