An innovative company is characterized by a variety of factors that are clearly reflected in our corporate philosophy. For us, innovation means constant change and continual adaptation to new markets, evolving customer needs, and environmental and production conditions. We place great value on continuous development – in our products, our customers and partners, and above all, our employees. However, innovation also requires consistency: curiosity, the search for new solutions, flexibility, tolerance, integration, and service orientation. These values have been indispensable to us since the company's founding – they are non-negotiable. This has made us a successful global player while preserving our identity as a family business.
Of course, there are hard numbers. For example, the prestigious trade magazine Capital publishes an annual innovation ranking, in which more than 3,500 experts are surveyed about Germany’s most innovative companies. Once again, they have awarded us a top position with four stars in the category of Electronics & Electrical Engineering, Automation, and Measurement Technology. Particularly gratifying is the top rating in the important criterion of patent relevance. Unlike many other rankings, this is based on concrete numbers – the so-called Technology Relevance™, which relies on forward citations. In short, the more frequently a patent serves as the basis for further innovations, the higher the index. Patents are a clear indicator of progress and future orientation. Discerning applicants recognize from the number and significance of our patents that we are an innovative and attractive company.
From our employees. They are our most important asset and the driving force behind our company’s success. Every innovation starts with a good idea in a smart mind, which is then further developed step by step by a competent team. Our mission, "Creating Together," is of elemental essential importance. We promote flat hierarchies where new ideas are always welcome, even if they initially seem unusual or difficult to implement. In our team spirit at Würth Elektronik, we see that collaboration in diverse development teams is more than the sum of its parts. Innovation thrives in an environment of diversity, tolerance, freedom of opinion, and personal responsibility – and this is the environment we create at Würth Elektronik.
Know-how transfer is a crucial part of our innovation and service strategy: Creating Together means that we are more than just a manufacturer and supplier. We patent many of our development results. But that doesn’t mean we keep our know-how to ourselves. We share it – with our customers, partners, and innovative start-ups. We support them in their development and help turn ideas into market-ready products. The developments and experiences of the Würth Elektronik Group serve as a solid foundation that drives innovations in the electronics industry every day.
