Corporate Social Responsibility
Our conviction. Our beliefs.

Our production processes aim to be as resource-saving as possible. Here, the "everything from a single source" principle helps to avoid unnecessary transport and storage expenses. Our level of vertical integration is exceptionally high and the number of suppliers is therefore limited.

We cover the entire value chain with an 85 % level of vertical integration: From basic research in the software and hardware sector to development, design, production, sales, and service. Everything under one roof.

When it comes to value creation, we do not limit ourselves to standard systems alone. It's no accident that our motto is "There’s no such thing as impossible". Which finally propels us to deliver top performances when implementing your specific requirements.

If we do need parts from suppliers, they are handpicked. They are mainly manufactured by small and medium-sized German enterprises. Technical parts are sourced 100 % from Germany and Germany's share of mechanical parts stands at 70 %.

And our component suppliers are often much more than just suppliers: We maintain partnerships and, like our customers, profit from sustained, long-term business relationships that we, as a sound, founder-managed business, place in the foreground of our day-to-day actions.

Creating values for others too: We are committed to fulfilling our social responsibility beyond our actual business activity by solving social problems. This includes our commitment to the community in the form of donations of cash, goods, or time. Employees we release from work take on tasks by contributing their expertise and supporting charitable or social organisations with their labour.  

As a hotbed of innovation with a worldwide customer base, we focus firmly on our customers' requirements. We know our customers and what they expect from us.

Their ideas and issues substantially determine our view of the market, the focus of our efforts and the direction of our activities regarding new products and technologies.

In many cases, our products contribute considerably to people's health and the safety of everyday products. It is also our aim to protect the health and safety of our customers and everyone who encounters our systems. We assess the health and environmental risks of our machines over their entire lifecycle.

We market and sell our machinery and systems in compliance with the relevant laws; we act sustainably in this respect and oblige our employees to adhere to ethical and moral principles.

During the design stage, then in development and lastly in production, we make enormous efforts to consume less energy and other resources. We know our supply chain and where our supplier products come from. We ask our business associates to also comply with social and environmental standards.

We retain suppliers long term by involving them in our technology development and market success. This requires a close working relationship, combined with trust-based communication. Our suppliers have grown with us in the past and will continue to grow with us in the future. This approach builds trust and creates long-lasting partnerships.

We focus on companies from the region; in many cases these business relationships have existed for decades and are based on mutual respect. They are distinguished by mutual fairness and frequently lead to technology partnerships and other forms of close cooperation. Integrity ensures that employees, business associates and customers have confidence in the brand and our products.

At Wipotec itself, integrity is part of the corporate philosophy. Our values are practised by all staff, employees and managers. We promote integrity through staff selection and corporate culture. 

In our company, integrity is also demonstrated by positive error management combined with working on solutions, by good communication with colleagues and customers, and by practising quality daily. It is important here that we always keep our promises. This behaviour results in customer loyalty and brand confidence; on the employees' part it results in identifying with the company, synonymous with motivation.

Management and employees work closely together at the point of value creation. In this way, employees in production can improve their processes themselves and optimise their effectiveness. The result is optimum use of resources and more efficient communication.

What we are proud of: The machinery and equipment we produce, such as Wipotec checkweighers, effectively ensure the quality of products which are in everyday use. Our X-ray inspection systems guarantee the quality of food, thus protecting the lives of many people throughout the world.

Conserving resources and, especially in the case of food, preventing waste are some of our systems' most important quality features. Our globally competitive systems are also at the top of their respective product classes. This is how they establish our reputation as a world market leader. We have the implementation of far-sighted corporate strategy decisions to thank for our position in the market. Our innovative strength is also an important factor in this.

As a founder-managed company, compliance with good corporate governance is vital for our survival. It means that the management follows its own codes of conduct. 

As a family-managed company with over 30 years’ experience, this includes enduring, long-term partnerships and always putting the customer first.

In the competition for the best talents in the regional labour market, we offer the more attractive jobs. In return, our investment in training, our support of universities and the promotion of dual study programmes are rewarded by the fact that we can attract many qualified specialists and people with great potential. 

By sponsoring young people, the company is also able to satisfy the demand for management trainees of a rapidly growing company like Wipotec.
