The philosophy of SCHUNK

Philosophy

Visions begin with questions.
The most important thing to us is what we can do better to help getting innovative ideas going, to improve the manufacturing quality and productivity and thus to strengthen the market position of our customers?

For us, better means: better for you.

Also in a global age we hold the values of a family-owned company high to always keep direct customer contact and to take over personal responsibility.

We not only want to meet the expectations of our customers, we want to exceed them. With a 100 percent final-control policy, with continuous improvement efforts and with the proverbially SCHUNK "Caring Culture" that makes customer needs our own.

SCHUNK offers more - more willingness to face challenges and to move ideas forward, more activity to invest in innovative technologies, more flexibility to solve the questions and tasks of a fast moving future. That's what we stand for.

To the benefit of our customers.

The most important cornerstones of our company philosophy are, for us: pioneering spirit, a caring culture, and reliability.
