Our philosophy
uvex is a medium-sized enterprise with a long tradition, with values that are firmly established in the company culture and with loyal staff. Together we work day by day to achieve our defined objective: to be the best!
Leadership. Quality. Enthusiasm.
The strengths of the uvex brand are based on these three core values.
Leadership
The brand value of "Leadership" describes our drive to be a market leader. With leading innovations in our products, technologies and services, we want to set the benchmark and be the pioneers of new trends. As part of this vision, we’ve been working on wearable technologies for some time; we’ve also created uvex techware to develop a brandnew approach to products and cross-sector services. Our aim is to utilise the new sensor and optical technologies available to us, in conjunction with the associated software solutions, to reach new milestones in added value for our customers.
Quality
The brand value of "Quality" is underpinned by our status as a skilled manufacturer worldwide throughout the entire value-added chain. We manage and control the entire product development and production process – from the initial product concept, through to research and development, and finally to the mature end product. One of the main issues we focus on in doing so is sustainability. We undergo regular external certification audits, such as our ISO 14001 certification for shoe production in 2017, as evidence of our commitment to sustainability. Our aim is to audit all other uvex plants in line with this environmental management standard.
Enthusiasm
With our passion and our drive to deliver the best, we want to ensure that you and your employees feel good about our products. We want you to be passionate about uvex. The brand value of "Enthusiasm" also represents our commitment to top-level international winter sports, cycling and riding and, in turn, our commitment to the holistic implementation of our mission of protecting people.
