6 Principles.
1 Promise.
01
We think and act in generations.
As a fourth-generation family business, we understand the value of long-term thinking and action. We don’t chase short-term profit maximization - instead, we ensure that future generations inherit a financially sound, future-ready company in an intact social, economic, and ecological environment.
This is a bold and ambitious goal that requires our active commitment every single day. That’s why we take responsibility - for our employees, our region, and our environment. We want to leave a better world, and we believe in long-term solutions and stable relationships.
Every day, we prove the value of intergenerational collaboration. Older generations gladly pass on their knowledge and experience. The younger ones, in turn, inspire the entire company with fresh energy and new ideas. Each generation contributes its unique strengths. That’s what it means to be a true family business.
Fo(u)r generations.
02
We are serious about each other.
We believe in long-term relationships built on honesty, loyalty, and empathy. That means we take the people around us seriously, remain open, value one another, treat each other fairly, and give sincere recognition. We work hard - and we also know how to celebrate together.
Working together toward a shared goal - never over each other, never against each other. It is the only way to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
A good place for all who truly mean it with one another.
03
We think along and ahead.
We identify challenges before anyone else and work together to find the smartest ways to solve them - with each of your projects and a little better every day.
Always in search of new potential. Of improvements and innovations that move us all forward. So we can impress you with our creativity and innovative strength.
This is how we introduced engineering plastics into mechanical engineering. This is how we’ve continuously reinvented ourselves over the decades. And this is how we create added value - securing our leading market position for generations to come.
04
We get things done.
We roll up our sleeves and prefer doing to talking. We like to take responsibility for challenges in client projects. Taking the courage to try new things in order to learn quickly and continuously improve.
Where work gets done, there's bound to be some friction. If you try new things and go new ways, you're bound to make mistakes - and that's OK. When that happens, we support each other and fix things together. As a team, we make sure we never make the same mistake twice.
Although we now operate all over the world, our roots are in the Ruhr area a place that stands for the success of people who take action.
05
Whatever we do, we always strive for perfection.
We love and live quality. And we always strive for perfection - in our products and services, in the way we manufacture, in our internal processes, and in the development and expertise of our employees.
We work with state-of-the-art machines and the best equipment. In environments where we feel comfortable and can give our best. That's why we continuously improve our processes to meet the latest standards - and inspire our customers every single day.
No half measures: We aim to set new standards with every single project. We play - consistently and successfully - in the Champions League.
06
We value diversity - and build on It.
We are people. We are all different. And that’s a good thing.
We are diverse in age, gender, background, language, education, religion, personality, sexual orientation, opinions, experiences, skills, and abilities... And that is our greatest strength. It is this diversity that empowers us to tackle tomorrow’s challenges with creativity and performance.
We firmly believe that the quality of collaboration and a company’s ability to grow depend significantly on lived diversity — on how well we combine different perspectives into a shared mindset. Only then can we unlock the full potential of MURTFELDT.
Like the different parts of a machine. Parts that fit together perfectly. Parts that unleash their full impact precisely because of their different functions, shapes, and colors.
