The customer is king
Our customers are the basis of our existence. We communicate openly and directly; this is how we find out what our customers want. All our processes are aimed at successfully supplying our existing customers and winning new orders.
We act on our own responsibility in the spirit of WESO
We pursue our task with passion and commitment. We take responsibility for WESO. We demand commitment and promote the potential of the individual. We are a unit and see ourselves as part of the whole, because only together can we reach our goal.
We have the courage to try new things and are allowed to fail sometimes - because mistakes form the basis for improvement
We are constantly looking for ways to improve. We are creative, think outside the box and try out new solutions. We learn from our setbacks.
We treat each other openly, with trust and respect. Our word is our bond!
We are open and honest, both with our customers and partners and with each other. When looking for the best solution, we stand our ground and keep our backbone. Conflicts are unavoidable, but we only fight on the merits and enter into dialog with respect for our counterparts. We at WESO have handshake qualities and stand by our word.
We bear responsibility for the safety of our products, the region and our environment
Our products are important components. Defects can endanger the health of others. We fully safeguard the quality requirements of our customers. As a leading employer in our region, we have a special obligation to society. We are aware of our environmental footprint and try to keep it to a minimum. We harmonize economic, ecological and social aspects.
We use our resources sparingly
The manufacture of our products requires a high use of resources; materials, energy and our time. We try to make optimum use of all of these. We focus on what helps us to meet our customers' requirements. We regard the rest as waste.
