During the next decade we aim to secure our position as the world’s leading manufacturer of bearing. For this reason all of our strategies including our corporate culture are conceived on a long-term basis and are constantly target-oriented. The following principles of the HCH Group form the basis of this long-term and target-oriented action.

● Customer orientation -- To us at HCH care of existing customers is more important than seeking new ones. HCH will strive to maintain long-lasting, happy relationships with each of our customers by continually improving our service standards. Our customers decide whether or not our company is successful. Our customers are at the centre of all of our actions and the results of our actions must be judged from a perspective of their benefit to the customer.

● Continued Innovation -- The continued innovation is an integral part of our company where new, exciting and innovative ideas are brought to life. No idea is too small, too simple or too stupid until all avenues and possibilities are thoroughly checked out. We at HCH believe that sometimes the simplest ideas are the ones that lead to ground-breaking inventions. The people of HCH are committed to continue developing innovative ideas into incredible solutions.

● High efficiency -- We aim to be the best. Each of us has to rise to this challenge, meaning that each employee must be prepared to achieve a high degree of efficiency. We aspire to belong to an elite, but without being arrogant, because it is the company and its products that count the most and nothing else.

● Responsibility -- Each HCH Group employee bears personal responsibility for the success of the company. This also applies within a team, where each individual must be aware of his or her responsibility. In this respect we are fully aware that we all work together in achieving corporate goals. For this reason we also work together in the interests of the company.

● Effectiveness -- Only sustainable and effective results are of benefit to the company. When assessing management, it is only the effect of performance on results that counts.

● Adaptability -- In order to achieve continuous success we must adapt quickly and flexibly to new demands. Therefore, we regard change as a chance and the ability to adapt as the prerequisite for making use of this chance.

● Disagreement -- In the search for the best solution everyone has the duty to bring to light any disagreement. The solutions found are then resolutely implemented by all involved.

● Respect, trust, fairness -- We treat one another with respect. Management is based on mutual trust, trust is based on calculability and fairness.

● Employees -- Business enterprises are made by people. Employees are our strongest factor of success. Consequently, personnel decisions belong to the most crucial decisions.

● Sustainability -- We regard sustainability as a lasting and positive contribution towards the economic success of the company. This is the basis of our ecological and social responsibility.

● Society -- We consider awareness of social responsibility an inseparable part of our corporate self-conception.

● Integrity and Transparency -- At HCH our final principle is the commitment to be honest, consistent and fair in all our dealings. We will be ethical, sincere and open and our integrity will not be compromised upon.
