Since 1935 when GETRAG was founded in Ludwigsburg by Hermann Hagenmeyer, its corporate culture has been characterized by a strong vision: the constant striving to be better and better: better in terms of innovative products, better with regard to the constructive interaction of associates, customers and suppliers, and better in the sense of a balanced relationship between ecology and economy. In 1990, this vision was summarized with the following words:
> We Do It Better. <
This vision is the standard for our work and is actively carried out by every associate.
As a unifying symbol, we chose the first violin, as it also embodies the characteristics that are important for us: quality, precision, harmony, know-how, outstanding performance and perfection. The vision of striving for continuous improvement has inspired us to maximum performance in the past and will continue to strengthen us in the future.
