We offer our committed and highly skilled employees attractive jobs and training opportunities adapted to their individual needs. Their knowledge and experience are a key to our success.
Some 14'900 employees worldwide contribute through their expertise, commitment and experience to the continuing success of Bucher Industries. These include young people getting their training from us, university and college graduates and highly skilled specialists and managers, along with experienced professionals who in some cases have worked at Bucher Industries for many years, some even their entire career.
The Bucher culture
Our culture of appreciation, mutual respect and expertise prevails at all our locations. One important element of this culture is the focus on employees' health and safety, which is consistent throughout the world. Attention is paid to ergonomics, daylight and air quality also in production.
A valued employer
In the competitive labour market environment in which Bucher Industries operates, it is important for the company to be perceived as an attractive employer, not only to attract new employees, but also to keep fluctuation low. The divisions are striving to achieve this through a wide range of measures: career prospects and development opportunities within the company, targeted further training, promotion of diversity and ensuring equal opportunities, as well as flexible working hours and locations. Bucher Industries also collaborates with schools and universities to attract young professionals and graduates.
As an employer operating around the world, diversity is a matter of course. We have employees in many countries. They have varied cultural backgrounds and have gone through different kinds of training and education program. They also vary a great deal in terms of age and work experience.
