Our values.
Our principles are the driving force behind our success. They are our compass for everything we do and how we do it.
Teamwork
Exceptional technology requires an exceptional team. Our future-oriented, collaborative team culture consists of individuals with diverse backgrounds. Our diverse experiences, knowledge, and perspectives make us who we are.
Motivation
Our work is inspiring, often groundbreaking, and our goals are ambitious. In everything we do, we strive to be the best in the world. We refuse to be bound by the limits of what others deem possible or impossible. Instead, we aim to redefine the limits of technology and precision together, to develop next-generation drive systems.
Responsibility
We are convinced that the foundation of successful cooperation is trust. Introducing cutting-edge technology to the world carries significant responsibility. When it comes to quality, we never take shortcuts. We respect international norms and standards, conduct thorough testing, and ensure transparency. Ethical and environmental considerations are taken into account in all aspects of our work.
Curiosity
We approach the world and our work with optimism and great curiosity. Our dedication and ambition set us apart - we attend to every detail, no matter how small, and tackle even the most complex topics. We listen to other opinions, challenge the status quo, and eagerly embrace opportunities for learning.
Customer focus
We understand the needs of our customers, tailor our products to meet their requirements, and provide customized drive technologies and services. We are continuously searching for the best way to apply our technical breakthroughs to real-life challenges. Efficient processes and high productivity ensure the best possible quality for our customers.
Reliability
We keep our promises. Our customers expect and trust Swiss quality, and we provide it to them worldwide. As a privately held company, we are independent and can make quick decisions that prioritize uncompromising quality and operational excellence.

Juyeong Kim
is a test engineer in South Korea who is enthusiastic about cutting-edge technology that makes life easier. If you want to watch over his shoulder while he is working, you should, however, bring ear protection and gloves. To test the quality of our drives under all conditions, he has to simulate extremes – for example, severe cold and blasting heat.

Albane Lloqanaj
is part of the production team working in the maxon clean room. The job offers a great deal of variety, but is also highly demanding. The sterile environment not only places high demands on the ventilation system but also on the equipment and, most importantly, on the personnel. Special training and utmost discipline are required to work in this environment. The work attire is vacuum-sealed and provided by a clean-room laundry service, and hygiene masks, hairnets, gloves, and antistatic shoes are mandatory. Furthermore, one must refrain from unconsciously touching their face, so that gloves can be promptly disinfected.
