We want to work sustainably, in the long term and permanently, with people who share this worldview.

Collective agreement and flexibility
Through our membership in the employers' association of the chemical industry, we enjoy all the advantages of a very progressive collective agreement. A balanced relationship between the collective bargaining partners ensures, for example, the economic participation of the employees in the success of the member companies. In addition to annual vacation and Christmas bonuses, there is a collective pension plan with extensive employer subsidies as part of deferred compensation. Furthermore, a large number of instruments are available to be able to react to the challenges of demographic development.
The collectively agreed weekly working time is 37.5 hours. With our flexible company working time regulations, we offer pragmatic solutions for the compatibility of family and career and a good work-life balance. Fathers on parental leave or working from the home office are not uncommon for us.

With targeted training and further education measures, we encourage our employees to develop their professional and personal strengths. Internal staffing and career opportunities give our employees the opportunity to develop further within the group and to grow with new tasks.
