The corporate principles of HAWE

Customer orientation

Innovation

Innovation is the basic attitude of the company and its employees. For us, innovation means permanent improvement, but also achieving a balance between change and continuity. Innovation not only covers our products and their production, but also all areas of the company including structure and processes.

Products

We offer "problem solutions for problem solvers" and distance ourselves consciously from standard solutions where the distinctive advantages of our products are of no concern. Consultancy, project planning and support are part of our performance package.

Technology

Technology leadership translates into an optimised price/performance ratio, creating maximum benefit for our customers. Our specific experience and know-how in design and manufacturing technology, along with the expertise of our staff, are our core competencies.

Quality

The variety of safety-related applications of our products means that maximum quality is required. In the attitude and in the behaviour of our employees, quality becomes a state of mind at HAWE, quality is the norm.
