People are always at the centre of our activity

The ETO GRUPPE is and always will be owned by the Christa und Hermann Laur-Stiftung. To this day, the foundation guarantees the survival of ETO and the preservation of many jobs. It makes us financially strong and independent. The foundation also holds particular importance for people in the region, as it promotes projects relating to youth care and welfare, education, science and technology, general welfare work, and local traditions and history.

In addition to this, we have developed values together with our staff that are relevant to the success of the company and to working together meaningfully. Our utmost priorities are the ETO-Team spirit, the competence and passion of our staff, and the confidence we place in our staff and our customers.

As you see, it’s not only our products that open doors – we as a company also open up an exciting and international environment with flat hierarchies to you. Have we caught your interest? Many interesting jobs are already waiting for you!

With immediate effect, our new whistleblower system can be used to report violations of criminal law and other offenses under administrative law, as well as further federal and state laws, ordinances and regulations, in confidence and anonymously.

In order to ensure the greatest possible protection for whistleblowers in accordance with the EU Directive EU-RL 2019/1937 – the so-called Whistleblower Directive – the ETO whistleblower system is organized via the law firm reichert & reichert in Singen. The local counsels working in confidence receive reports and subsequently review them. In doing so, they protect the whistleblowers’ identity and guarantee the highest level of confidentiality as guardians of professional secrecy.

This is how whistleblowing reports can be reported:

• Reports can be submitted via the firm’s Internet-based whistleblower portal. The whistleblower portal can be accessed anonymously around the clock at hinweisportal.reichert-reichert.de.
• Alternatively, the firm’s toll-free reporting hotline is available around the clock at +49 7731 9587 777.

You can reach the office by mail or in person at the following address:
