With personality and responsibility – MEWA management

MEWA combines modern management with the value-oriented attitude of a family-run company in the third generation: Commitment, flat hierarchies and an atmosphere in which creativity can unfold, are values that have always characterised MEWA.

Respect for the individual and the community also has a long tradition and is firmly anchored in the corporate culture. All of these characteristics and values flow into the daily planning and determine our actions. This is the only way to guarantee the high quality of the products and of the service.

Questions & answers concerning the MEWA management organisation

"How is the MEWA management set up?" "What is the function of the Gabriele Gebauer MEWA Foundation?"

Values were and are the guideline for our entrepreneurial conduct, since our family company conquered the textile services market segment over 100 years ago. Those who do business with MEWA can rely on this fact: We set standards and we do this in every aspect. In the quality of our products, in our service, in dealing with customers, employees, business partners and with the environment.

Personally and technically our MEWA managers have an exemplary function: Not status, but rather qualifications, not entitlement, but rather a sense of responsibility make their leadership convincing and credible. Decisiveness is also one of their qualifications, as are constructive lateral thinking and a professional respectful manner in dealing with all employees. We respect an open dialogue, the sustainable transfer of knowledge, and the results-oriented exchange of information.

The operative holding company of the MEWA group is the Gabriele Gebauer MEWA Stiftung. It is managed by a Board of Directors consisting of three members. The Board of Directors of the holding company prescribes and assures the strategic alignment of the MEWA Group. To do this the Board of Directors is in direct contact with the management organisations of the 44 individual companies. The individual companies implement the strategic guidelines from the holding company in their respective areas of responsibility.

MEWA Textile-Service AG is connected to the holding company on the control level with the Supervisory Board. The Chairwomen of both bodies is the Main Shareholder Gabriele Gebauer. Thus the Group ensures that the long-term objectives of the MEWA family business are also in focus at all times.
