We – NATUS

NATUS GmbH & Co. KG with its headquarters in Trier, Germany, has existed since 1956. As experts in the field of safe power distribution, we serve as a reliable partner to industry, plant construction and power suppliers. NATUS systems supply, control and protect industrial plants across the world. Our products and services range from state-of-the-art medium and low voltage systems, plant and process automation, control systems to turnkey project management, project engineering, industrial installation and service right through to integrated electrotechnical solutions. We provide our technical and process-based know-how to ensure the comprehensive and efficient management of complex electrotechnical solutions. As an internationally acting company, NATUS orients itself towards the needs of a constantly changing world market in this increasingly globalised world.

We are an independent family business, our thoughts and actions are based on long term thinking. We intend to substantially increase the inherited knowledge and pass it over to the next generation. With our customers, employees, suppliers and partners we strive for a successful cooperation based on sustainability that relies on traditional values like trust, dependability, fairness, quality and innovation. Human dignity is always in the centre of our efforts. We pursue the general aim of an ecological, economic and social sustainability.

In our corporate mission we have set the following concrete values and aims according to which we combine economic success with social responsibility on the basis of our corporate philosophy.

Profitable growth and economical sustainability

Apart from satisfaction of our customers and motivation of our employees, a sustainable and profitable growth is one of the most important aims of our company. Growth stabilises and increases our market shares in this increasingly globalised world. Our sales structure as well as our international partners assist in transforming the German engineering ingenuity – highly esteemed across the world – into increasing turnover. Profitability is essential to secure a sound equity base and enables us to advance our products and to undertake the necessary investments aimed at expanding capacity and increase in efficiency. All this is a contribution to preserve existing jobs and create new ones and involves - in our opinion - a high degree of social responsibility for employees and their families, for the local authorities in our region as well as for the state.

Innovation

One of the central strategic aims is the sustainable increase in value of our company. Here, the strongest driving force is innovation. In doing so, it is not enough to supply a superior product quality in the international competition, a sustainable optimising of our processes is needed as well. Apart from the specific new development and advancement of our products and processes, this innovation is reflected in the commitment of our employees, too. The possibility to hand in ideas and improvements via the continuous improvement process is seen as a strong and inexhaustible potential of our company and is used permanently and implemented.

Data protection and information security

We regularly assess our information security risks and do everything we can to protect data and information appropriately. We comply with the legal requirements and also observe them when transferring and sharing data outside the organization.

A risk assessment helps us to define realistic and appropriate measures to create a secure IT environment. We use our information technology responsibly.

Quality and compliance

Every employee makes an important contribution to the quality of our products. For this reason, developing the quality consciousness of the employees is an executive function for each manager. NATUS supports these efforts by further education and on-the-job-training of the employees. In specifying and arranging targets and in describing processes and procedures, the corporate management establishes the basis for a continuous improvement of the management system. Corporate management monitors the integrated management system (Quality, Health and Occupational Safety, environmental protection and energy efficiency) by regular reviews. Furthermore it is natural and an obligation for us to meet the statutory and regulatory requirements and if possible to exceed them. We intend to have satisfied customers who can absolutely rely on our quality.

Environment, energy efficiency and ecological sustainability

Our products and processes should be environmentally friendly, resource-saving and energy-efficient throughout the entire product life cycle.

Our products and processes should be environmentally friendly, we do not waste resources and energy. We intend to contribute actively to the protection and improvement of our environment. With our performance we intend to show that economy and ecology are not a contradiction here. Acting in an environmentally friendly way is especially important for us for the optimisation of our products in the field of power distribution. Regarding the significance of this task, our corporate policy is governed highly by the protection of the environment and by an energetic consideration. All significant environmental and energetic aspects are identified, evaluated and receive adequate evaluation in the context of the management system under attention of a continuous improvement process.We use renewable energies to meet our ecological responsibility in the best possible way. We evaluate our processes to sustainably reduce waste and CO₂ emissions.
