Taking responsibility

As a family company, we focus on slow, sustainable and healthy growth. Our objective is to ensure the success of the group for future generations. Successful long-term development has always been more important to us than a short-term maximizing of profits.

Prerequisite for the successful future for the Group of Companies is our willingness to change. We grasp new opportunities to further enhance and develop our performance through the transfer of knowledge and technology. And the individual requirements of our customers always take pride of place.

Long-term business relations and direct contact to our customers is essential to us. This enables us to listen thoroghly, understand their needs and develop new projects jointly, in order to find the best tailor-made solutions.

The maritime industry has always been a truly international business - it already practised the concept of globalization long before the term was invented. Especially on board ship, people of different nationalities live and work together. That's why respect for the cultures and traditions of other countries are a matter of course for us. We expressly condemn ethnic, religious or any other form of discrimination.

As a family company, we expressly commit ourselves to our social responsibilities. We strive to provide long-term job security and to continue to honor social commitments. This is why we always have the most important business objective firmly in our sights: to make a profit.

We know that our employees are the main factor in our success. As a family business, we feel responsible for each and every one of them. We are not an anonymous concern. We are - and shall remain - a company of the Hartmann family.
