Shaping the future of the industry: the staff at KEBO AG
KEBO AG is a typical Swiss SME and is fully family owned. The management team is personally committed to the success of the company and makes its decisions independently of external stakeholders. This means we can afford to offer our services on a more individual basis, always thinking one or two crucial steps ahead.
Our management team has an informal, personal leadership style. We are not exclusively motivated by profit. The company has an open and direct communication culture with plenty of room for individual development. All employees are supported in their work through targeted further training.
As part of our social responsibility and our desire to secure the future of our industry, we regularly train young talent in various fields. We are proud of our trainee positions for mechanics and designers and we are delighted to see the consistently high level of interest in these roles.
We manufacture our products completely within our own company. For us, “Made in Switzerland” is the result of solid training and further education, outstanding personal responsibility on the part of our employees and a high level of personal commitment from everyone involved.
Four decades of history
Longevity is not only a characteristic of our products. It is also an integral part of our company history. Founded in 1979 by Alfons Keller and Charles Bodenmann and now into its second generation, at KEBO AG we maintain a culture of qualitative optimisation and healthy growth.
