Relations are our asset. We look after them.
At RÜTGERS we value business connections not only as relations between two companies but we always see the people behind them. Because only when the personal aspects are not lost from view, can we attend to individual requirements and special needs so that we can work together more efficiently.
One principle that we apply, not only when working with our customers but also internally. RÜTGERS is an important employer at many sites and has longstanding traditions. And we take this role seriously. So we employee about 8O apprentices alone at our head office in Castrop-Rauxel, where the company was founded; 30 of them in association with other companies.
Social partnership
Fully according to the tradition of our founding father Julius Rütgers, who not only made himself a name as president of the chemical trade association (chemischen Berufsgenossenschaft ) but also as a member of the state insurance office (Reichsversicherungsamt). We also place value on a social as well as sympathetic coexistence with all employees. Therefore, we have been looking after our partnership-based relations with unions and management of the – IG BCE (mining, chemistry, energy) industrial union and the employee representatives.
Bear responsibility: RÜTGERS foundation
As a chemical company the young generation of scientific recruits naturally mean a lot to us. Therefore, in 1999 we founded the RÜTGERS foundation – with a share capital that its origins in a former emergency support fund for employees. With the proceeds from the foundations assets, the RÜTGERS foundation promotes natural science projects such as research work, study groups or project days in all types of schools and for all age groups. In this way we support the pioneers of tomorrow – on behalf of the pioneer, who our company owes its thanks to.
