Our corporate culture rests on six pillars

Our corporate culture rests on six pillars The Wipf Group’s system of cultural values has been developed and consolidated over generations. The human and entrepreneurial qualities it endorses are becoming more and more crucial for our successful development: • The personal and open attitude we adopt toward each other and our customers; • the latitude to design and develop innovations as well as new procedures and processes that create productivity advantages and strengthen our market position; • the ability of our teams and lean operating units to make quick decisions, seize opportunities, and introduce necessary changes and improvements without delay.

While our corporate management is largely decentralized, our common standards and shared values create a strong sense of togetherness; they convey confidence and trust both within the 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.

Christian Wipf

“ 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

We are a privately-owned Swiss enterprise 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.

Innovation is our hallmark Responsive and flexible work in project groups that co-operate with customers in finding solutions is what distinguishes us from our competitors.

We not only design new packaging systems but also develop innovative concepts in marketing and logistics. By continuously introducing new products, we have gained a reputation as a Packaging Innovator in our industry.

“In our markets, we differentiate ourselves with flexibility and speed in the development of innovative concepts.�

Christian Wipf

The success of our customers makes us successful Our quality and our ability to develop innovative and sound long-term solutions help our customers achieve success.

By focusing on specific market segments and customer requirements, we have become market leaders in these segments.

“ Without our customers, we would be nothing; with our customers, we can be the best.”

Christian Wipf

“ The quality of a company is a precise reflection of the quality of its employees and executives.”

Heinrich Wipf Sr., in a ceremonial address at Seetal Papier AG

Our employees are co-entrepreneurs Know-how and a team spirit are our assets, and our employees are our most important resource. A high level of competence is expected and encouraged. We manage by agreed objectives and delegate the greatest possible degree of decision-making authority and responsibility to our employees in their activities on behalf of our customers and our company.

Social stewardship governs what we do We see ourselves as responsible citizens and members of our society.

In addition to our in-house commitment to social benefits, continuing education, and employee safety and health, we maintain good contacts with the communities and authorities of our region and actively endorse environmental protection.

“As a company, we share the responsibility for the well-being of our society.�
