COMPANY: CORPORATE CULTURE

> We think with the mind of a global family company

Our diverse, committed and qualified employees are the key to the success of our family-owned company. Our global network enables us to think and act flexibly, no matter which market we serve. The inde- pendent financial basis of our family company provides us the means to operate in the long term. We pursue global growth while keeping in mind our family-company values.

> We drive innovation to create solutions for our customer that can make the difference 

When our company founder Werner Peters first experimented with lacquers for electronics back in the 1950’s he was regarded as a pioneer in an evolving field. We are proud of our pioneering tradition and up to today still embody the spirit of innovation with the people, products and solutions that contribute to our customers’ success. We value innovation as an important driver for our future success.

> We pursue sustainable growth

We understand sustainability as an integrated aspect in our corporate strategy. Our sense of responsibility for people, environment and technology sets the base for our sustainable thinking. We pursue a successful health management scheme, we avoid harmful and environmentally unsound resources, we actively participate in disposal and recycling concepts and take action in implementing responsible energy and waste management.

> We consider ourselves a technology partner rather than a technology supplier 

For us, it neither starts nor ends with distributing a product to a customer. It is about delivering an integrated solution. We provide problem-based product development, process consulting and first-class after sales service.

> We will never compromise on quality 

For us, the quality factor is not something we need to point out; it is a philosophy we follow since Werner Peters set the foundations of the company. That is true not only for our products but also for everything else we do.
