Our values
We take responsibility – for safety, quality, and cooperation.
At Orion, safety is not just a word on paper, but a top priority in our everyday work. We work conscientiously, setting the highest standards for ourselves and the processes we stand for. For us, responsibility also means standing up for each other: as a team, as colleagues, as people. We address mistakes openly. We find solutions together. Because integrity starts small – and shapes our culture as a whole.
We think ahead – for our customers, our future, and our team.
For us, innovation doesn't just mean new products – it also means new perspectives. We foster an environment where every idea counts, whether it comes from the lab, the technical department, or administration. We research, improve, and question. And we focus on sustainable solutions because we know that progress must not come at the expense of the next generation. Together, we are shaping the materials and processes of tomorrow – responsibly, efficiently, and in dialogue with each other.
We build on trust – within our team, with our partners, and across borders.
Respect, reliability, and appreciation characterize our collaboration—from day one. Many of our colleagues have been with Orion for years, and many customer relationships go back decades. Why? Because we listen. Because we keep our promises. And because we know that success does not come from quick deals, but from honest relationships. That's what we work on—day in, day out, together.
