Our guiding principles
Core values such as appreciation, honesty, innovation and reliability carry us forward to success. Appreciation is the guiding principle for our way of thinking and acting.

Our behaviour
We always act in a customer-focused, reliable, fair and honest way towards customers, suppliers, employees and partners. We stand for the highest level of conscientiousness, flexibility and innovative spirit.

Our employees
We motivate our employees by activating their own spirit of initiative, trusting them, giving them responsibility and acknowledging extraordinary performance. We maintain a good, friendly working environment.

Our promise
We set new quality standards in all our activities. Excellent customer support, a customer-orientated warehouse as well as top-notch in-house production set us apart. Best Swiss quality is our ultimate goal, one that we pursue on every level every day.

Frei Fördertechnik fosters a corporate culture in which striving for excellence, personal responsibility, identification with the company and social awareness can thrive and grow. Collaboration is characterised by a motivating team spirit, openness and fairness. We see suppliers as partners, since they make a significant contribution to our range of offers.

We also assume responsibility for the protection of the environment as well as the health and safety of our employees by acting accordingly. We ensure the development and independence of our family business through appropriate and fair profits, a substantial part of which are reinvested into the company's development.

As a forward-looking company, we invest a great deal in research and development. In the Engineering Department, our employees work on new, improved products and technologies. 

Technically and economically compelling solutions are realised in close cooperation with our customers. More than 30 innovative products have evolved over the last few years and stood the test of daily use to the advantage of our clients.
