People

As an expanding business in a dynamic environment, our people are the key to our success

Do something better every day. It takes committed people to do it!

Kronospan is powered by motivated people with brains, heart, guts and loyalty.

We appreciate that thousands of small steps forward produce big results, so we support individual initiatives. Through on the job training, we create a culture that encourages people to do something better every day.

This requires committed people who both recognise and act, seeing a problem as an opportunity. People must be led by their own passion and put things right that are wrong using their own ideas and actions.

decentralization_820x500_crop_478b24840a

Decentralisation

Providing excellent quality and service

Fast, flexible, better

At Kronospan, we are close to our people, our service providers, our customers, our suppliers and our contractors.

We foster the development of our people, especially our young people.

We manage our organisation by decentralising whenever possible and centralising only when necessary. This gives a faster, more flexible and - above all - better business.

We maintain strong connections within our decentralised organisation. Centralising some support activities means operating companies’ management teams can concentrate on day-to-day business. This improves quality, service and brings results.

Simplicity

Simplicity is a virtue

A way of life

  • Limit formalities
  • Minimise bureaucracy
  • Find simple solutions

This fosters responsibility, satisfaction and entrepreneurship.

enterpreneurship_820x500_crop_478b24840a

Entrepreneurship

Our driving force

We do not only comply to rules, but also follow the spirit of the rules.

Brains, heart, guts and loyalty

  • Focus on results
  • Close to people
  • Knowledge of details
  • Brains, heart and guts
  • Loyalty

We need people who act the same way at work as they do at home, spending company money and looking after company assets as if they were their own. Following rules alone is not enough. We have to evaluate, take and manage risks, and we can do that better by being closer.

low_cost_820x500_crop_478b24840a

Low cost

Supply quality products at affordable prices

We strive for the lowest cost possible for our final product. As one of the world leaders in technical development in our industry, we aim to get the highest possible yield from our input materials. We meet our defined quality standards for the ultimate benefit of our customers by supplying our products fast and at affordable prices. Our maxim “no fat” allows us to reduce costs even further. 1,000 small steps bring big results.

To maintain this position of cost leadership, we take advantage of synergies and cost-effective technologies.

Good plant design helps us maximise efficiency and minimise costs, reduce emissions and achieve the lowest environmental impact possible.

Integration-850x520_820x500_crop_478b24840a

Vertical integration

Efficient production, product development and innovation

Vertical integration enables Kronospan to lead the way in both cost and innovation. It means we can develop and improve wood-based panels and value added products continuously and cost-effectively.

We create cost advantages throughout the production process. For wood-based panels, we integrate the preliminary stages — such as producing resins or decor paper — into our value chain.

This allows efficient production, product development and innovation.
