A family company in every regard

KISTERS is a family company, which not only refers to the Kisters family, but also symbolizes the philosophy and management style of the company. Direct dialog, fairness, a co-operative management style and mutual respect are central elements of our corporate culture.

The management style of “open doors” and short decision paths are a matter of course. The executive board and management staff are always available for questions and there are no barriers to initiating discussions. As a member of the Fair Company Initiative for fair working conditions.
