Our core corporate values

We want to be a leading player in the global healthcare market and a driving force in advancing healthcare for all. To achieve this goal, we live by three fundamental values:

  • High-performance: We are ambitious to outperform the competition, to speed up profitable growth by making fact-based decisions with a LEAN mindset.

  • Customer-oriented: We have the customer at the heart of everything we do, continuously striving to meet and exceed customer expectations to become the preferred partner of choice.

  • Passionate team: We are ONE strong team, trusting, supporting, and encouraging each other, working at eye-level and passionately towards common goals.

Together we’re always stronger – we stand for diversity

Family at the beach

HARTMANN has more than 10,000 employees worldwide. Colleagues from 90 countries work for us. We operate with our own sites in over 35 countries, while our products are used by people in over 130 countries.

Wherever we are, people are always at the center of how we work together. This commitment is also reflected in our contribution to improving people's health.

Diversity is the central element that helps us to grow as a team, as employees and as a company. A person’s origin, religion or sexual orientation are irrelevant.

We are clear about what has no place in our company: extremist positions, inhumane ideologies, racism, anti-Semitism or any other form of exclusion and hatred. We take a stand against such positions if we are confronted with them as a company.

Many people and organizations around the world are committed to this form of coexistence, based on a democratic order and the rule of law.

Living together as a society can only work if human dignity and human rights are respected. We’re the strongest when we’re united. And that’s important to us at HARTMANN.

Our fields of expertise

Healthcare is our passion. But healthcare is also a complex industry that is full of challenges. That’s why we’ve divided our clinical and medical expertise into four segments:
Sustainability
For us, taking care of people implies taking care of our environment. Find out how we are reducing our ecological footprint on our corporate website.
