Guiding Principles

The values at the core of our company

The guiding principles of Helix Medical and our parent company, Freudenberg Group, are the core values that drive our organization’s continued success.

Value for customers

We are committed to anticipating, understanding, and meeting our customers’ needs and expectations. As a diligent supplier with a passion for detail, we provide indispensable support to make our customers successful. We deliver superior value through our commitment to quality, service, and reliability, supported by our global presence.

Innovation

Constant innovation in everything we do is essential for our long-term financial success. We are leaders in continuous improvement, and our culture encourages and rewards creativity and initiative from all our associates.

Leadership

Entrepreneurship is our heritage and the foundation of our success. We continue this tradition through delegated responsibilities, freedom of action, and personal accountability. We believe in solid leadership based on personal example, modesty, putting trust in people, and promoting team spirit. We are committed to developing our future leaders within Helix Medical and the Freudenberg Group in order to safeguard this style.

People

We are devoted to our associates’ well-being and personal development. We reject all forms of discrimination and show understanding and respect in our dealings with each other. We promote a multi-cultural environment where associates work together in worldwide teams to enrich our culture and capability. We believe in the value of enduring relationships with customers, suppliers, and partners.

Responsibility

Our company is committed to protecting the environment and being responsible corporate citizens in all countries and communities in which we do business. We take all possible care to ensure the safety of the workplace and of our products. We strive for the highest standards of personal behavior. Fairness and integrity guide our conduct among ourselves, toward our business partners, and the general public.

Long-term orientation

We will remain a privately held company. Helix Medical is part of the Freudenberg Group, a 160-year-old company that is family-owned. While we are not adverse to risks, financial prudence and solidity will continue to determine the scope and speed of our strategic developments.
