The Wipf Group’s system of cultural values has been devel-oped and consolidated over generations. The human andentrepreneurial qualities it endorses are becoming more andmore crucial for our successful development:• The personal and open attitude we adopt toward each otherand our customers;• the latitude to design and develop innovations as well asnew procedures and processes that create productivity advan-tages and strengthen our market position;• the ability of our teams and lean operating units to makequick decisions, seize opportunities, and introduce necessarychanges and improvements without delay.

While our corporate management is largely decentralized, ourcommon standards and shared values create a strong senseof togetherness; they convey confidence and trust both withinthe company and toward our customers. As shown below, our values can be summarized by six principles that inspire our daily work and our customer relationships.

The Wipf Group is a Swiss SME with a 100-year heritage. For generations, our corporate culture has focused on traditional Swiss values such as dependability, quality,honesty, and trustworthiness. All affiliates and divisions are managed in the same spirit as self-reliant profit centres.

“We are aware that neither the best organization nor capital nor the size

of the company can ensure the sustainable and healthy development

of our business unless both entrepreneur and employees are imbued with

the right spirit. But spirit refuses constraints, and valuable contributions

can only come from free will.”

Heinrich Wipf Sr., 1942, on the occasion of the company’s 60-year anniversary
