The ARaymond Network is continuing to grow (+8% in 2017) amidst a complex international context. With €1.2 billion in revenue in 2017, our company is now present in 25 countries, with new plants opened in Morocco and Mexico. We also invested in our German subsidiary.
Our new 30,000m2 production site (in Weil am Rhein, Germany) was designed to meet a need for modernisation. These investments are necessary to bring even more added value to our partners and offer our employees much better working conditions. Through developing, we assist our customers around the world in the long-term. Parallel to these investments, we are pursuing a localisation strategy and focusing on our growth in domestic markets. Therefore, we progress by means of proximity, flexibility and by being responsive to our partners.
The strength of our company comes mainly from our desire to bring employees from around the world together around a unique corporate culture and shared values – innovation, entrepreneurial spirit, value creation, collaboration, respect and pleasure. A company’s performance is inseparable from employee commitment and well-being at work. Using this premise, we are encouraging a new style of management that gives freedom to talent and promotes taking initiative, based on attention, empowerment, autonomy, trust and dialogue: Servant leadership – inspired by the work of Robert Greenleaf.
For ARaymond, the challenge is to create a collaborative network and a more agile and proactive company in a world of constant change. To achieve our ambition, we must maintain a dynamic that encourages people to collaborate, co-create and stand together.
This collaborative vision reflects who we are: A company that has always put people at the centre, with innovation and commitment as the driving forces of growth.
Our goals for 2030 inspire us daily to prepare for the evolution of our business by becoming suppliers of solutions and services for our partners. Digitisation and current thinking on Industry 4.0 encourage us to rethink our roles and skills.
We are optimistic about the future because we are surrounded by passionate people with unique expertise. Being engaged is of utmost importance, as in our 150 years of experience, this has enabled us to succeed and never stop innovating.
