Young employees in particular are interested in this topic and appreciate the strong sense of community within the cooperative business model, which provides meaningful work.
In our business we live according to the motto “What cannot be achieved by one person can be achieved by many”, and are taking the sense of community to the outside world through numerous social initiatives as well as upholding it within the company. Fast decision-making processes, individual responsibility and the desire to leave our mark in life is what motivates us, together with prioritising drive and resolving all challenges.
Since 1948, the company has been passed on from one generation of our cooperative members to the next and every profit made has been invested in Gerätewerk Matrei to secure our common path, for our employees, business partners and members.
Our cooperative association is a union of active employees who, within the company, would like to assume responsibility for other employees. After being in the company for 5 years every employee can apply to join the cooperative association. A social and entrepreneurial attitude represents an important factor in this.
