As a third-generation family-owned company, we are financially independent and socially committed. We therefore think and act for the long term – in generations, not financial years. Our values provide us with guidance on how we can structure our company together. They determine how we act and how we treat each other.
Curiosity, courage and adaptability are not new concepts for Festo. They have always been part of our DNA. We want to be at the forefront so that we are equipped to handle the constantly changing requirements in our market.
Despite the many change that our company has experienced, one aspect has remained constant throughout its long history: we have always been an independent family-owned company and will remain so in the future.
As a proudly independent family-owned company, we shape our destiny and are relentless in our pursuit of success. We have high expectations of ourselves and others and harness the passion and experience of our people to deliver top class performance.
As a driver and shaper of our market, we meet challenges with courage and determination. We make clear decisions and implement them thoroughly. When we make mistakes, we find out why and learn for the future.
We are determined to develop intelligent and intuitive solutions. For this reason we look beyond our own horizons to learn the current and future challenges of our customers and markets and the actions of our competitors. Our structured cooperation over all disciplines leads to strengths and knowledge in invention and innovation.
Our diversity is a core strength that enriches Festo. To ensure trust, we foster open openness and mutual respect. We resolve conflicts quickly and cooperatively, we treat each other with respect and learn from each other's perspective.
We expect and believe in the personal responsibility of our employees and colleagues. Engagement and dependability are therefore key characteristics of the way we work. When we cannot keep to our commitments we communicate this early and seek alternative solutions.
