Our Values

Mikron’s values are the six principles that shape our organization, and we are all committed to them. We truly believe they are the pillars of our long-term success and not just random corporate clichés. Of course, words and declarations aren't magic.

They need to be understood, lived by and acted upon.

Values are what we do, not what we say – values become actions.

Excellence

We are high-performance teams working together.

Each employee contributes to Mikron’s success. We share our experiences and shape our working environment in such a way that everyone can be successful. Through continuous training our people develop their needed competencies and skills for today and tomorrow. Transparent communication and a feedback culture foster teamwork and a trustworthy environment. Empowerment and constant challenge move to action and motivates us to step out of comfort zones.

Responsibility

We honor our commitments.

We take responsibility for our actions and behavior based on our values, policies, and corporate objectives. We are all ambassadors of our company and show respect and develop profound trust with our colleagues, customers, and other business partners. We take and execute decisions professionally and for the good of the company. We fully comply to the legal statues and behave socially and environmentally responsible, not because we must, but because we believe in it. Regardless of our title, we are all leaders and have a responsibility to act as role models.

Engagement

We partner with our customers.

The needs and expectations of our customers guide the way we think and act. We help them to improve their productivity and become more competitive in their markets using innovative solutions.
