"Human resources are crucial factors for the success of our group"

Stefan Fuchs, Chairman of the Executive Board - Fuchs Germany

Our employees - the basis of our success

Our employees are the most important resource in our company. The knowledge, experience and commitment of each of them ensures that business is conducted successfully, innovative products are introduced and customers satisfied.

The size and organizational structure of our company enables us to have short lines of communication and decision-making, and thus to have non-bureaucratic collaboration between different departments. For our staff this means varied activities to which everyone can make a personal contribution.

FUCHS Incentive Program

The 'FUCHS Incentive Program', started in 2003, is a global instrument used to ensure perfomance-related remuneration for the management of the FUCHS Group subsidiaries around the world. The program is based on a value-added incentive system, the so-called FVA (FUCHS VALUE ADDED) system, which links operation profit, capital employed and capital costs.
