For Patrick Paul, as an entrepreneur, the employees play a key role in implementing this vision of the future: »Going »beyond borders« requires people with a special mindset – hands-on personalities with an irrepressible drive to think beyond the standard. At LASER COMPONENTS, this kind of people works not only in the development department but in the sales teams of our individual business units as well. This applies across the boundaries of languages and cultures for all locations. Our customers appreciate this because it puts them on par with our team members. That’s what sets us apart from our competitors.«

Patrick Paul knows that every future is always rooted in the past: »Being a forward-thinking company also means not blindly chasing every trend. For example, when we restructured the group of companies, we made a conscious decision to retain the character of an owner-managed family business. This gives us a great deal of financial independence. We can plan strategically with foresight and do not have to be guided by the short-term profit expectations of stakeholders. At the same time, we can be sure that all the companies in the Group live our corporate values.«
