IMS Gear is a successful internationally operating company - this is not just a statement, it’s an obligation. After all, our success is not only the result of our technology leadership, but of our value-oriented company culture. We have been working on our excellent reputation with customers, employees and suppliers for many years - and we are all responsible for doing justice to this in the future.

To support this effort, we have composed our “Business Code of Conduct”. These rules apply to each of us.

If you have any questions about our rules of conduct, please contact your immediate supervisor, the compliance officer, or send us a message at Compliance.
