Our mission statement
Our mission statement defines the values and business principles that guide our actions.
It is intended to provide guidance for our employees and establish a basis of trust.
Family-owned company since 1932
Since 1932, the KOHLSCHEIN family-owned company has stood for quality, service and expertise in paper, cardboard and board.
Our focus is on high-quality products and solutions made from fibre-based materials. We combine decades of experience with the continuous development of our products, processes and services.
Mindfulness, agility and sustainability
These values form the basis of the mission statement of the KOHLSCHEIN family-owned company.
We put people – our employees, suppliers, customers, other stakeholders and shareholders – at the heart of our day-to-day and strategic activities.
Together with our commitment to quality and a high level of integrity in our relationships with our partners, these values form the foundation on which KOHLSCHEIN was built and guide us on our path into the future.
Our actions are guided by mindfulness and appreciation in our interactions with people as well as by the conscious use of natural resources. We share a commitment to a positive working environment, mutual trust, reliability and entrepreneurial thinking and action at all levels.
We strive to build long-term, collaborative relationships with our business partners based on fairness, trust and reliability.
Employees
Leadership
We achieve our goals together and derive our strength from constructive, respectful collaboration. Leaders focus on the task at hand and not on themselves. We lead in a transparent manner and create a positive and results-oriented working atmosphere.
We enable and encourage independent and autonomous action within clearly defined margins and designate clear tasks and responsibilities.
We support our employees. Through open and constructive feedback, we encourage them to continuously develop their skills and help them to realise their full potential.
Environment and future
A key focus of our product portfolio is on paper- and fibre-based materials as well as products made from renewable raw materials. For various applications, these offer an alternative to solutions made from petroleum-based plastics.
When developing our products and processes, we focus on the efficient use of raw materials and resources. To achieve this, we continuously develop our production and sales processes and invest in modern technology.
At the same time, we promote awareness among our employees of the responsible use of raw materials, energy and other resources.
