Home > Company > Improvement Program GROWTTH > The Principle

• For more than 50 years, suggestions for improvement at Freudenberg had been channeled through a company suggestion scheme.

• From our Japanese partners at NOK, we learnt "kaizen", a "change for the better". NOK is the leading supplier in the seal technology sector and a year-long partner of Toyota and Toyota Manufacturing System.

• Today, we want more. GROWTTH is a new instrument designed to promote teamwork and with the designated goal of enabling our people to continually improve and optimize processes and work methods across departmental and divisional lines.

• All our people can get involved in creative, non-hierarchical improvements.
