Our vision

We treat each other with respect and make sustainable use of our resources.

We say openly and honestly what is possible and what is not and why. We actively seek information!

We perform excellent work at all times.

Founded in 1968 by Hermann and Agnes Paus, we were, are, and wish to remain an innovative, medium-sized, family-run business. We have our roots in the Emsland region, “home of the makers“, and we are at home around the world.

Our basic product range is intelligently defined, mature and can be expanded on the basis of individual customer requirements.

We are committed to the future. That is why we continually develop and refine our diverse range of services to offer our customers sustainable added value.

Our customers all around the world are partners with ambitious requirements from the fields of craftsmanship, industry and services. They appreciate our “plus” in terms of flexibility, innovation and commitment, true to our motto: …the people who care.

We embody our corporate values. We pro-actively and passionately input our specialist competence to the team. Commitment combined with social value orientation is natural for us.

Our togetherness is characterised by honest and respectful dealings as equals. Objective criticism motivates us. We make a distinction between issue and person.

Fairness is a must!

Our suppliers and cooperation partners see us as key customers and share our values. Their actions are pro-active, solution-orientated and sustainable. We have a common goal: customer excitement!
