About Seller
Welcome to ROTZINGER AG - the family company with worldwide success!
SMEs are facing challenges all the time - and have to keep innovating to stay a step ahead! This is the age of the internet - faster, cheaper, and increasingly globalized. Products must be permanently available, batch sizes are getting smaller, we need flexibility for new products on existing lines, legal requirements setting higher and higher standards, and still low production costs are a key requirement. This is not just a challenge when buying new machinery; existing installations also require expansion or modernization in order to meet increasing demands.
ROTZINGER was established in 1948, and has since developed into a world-renowned specialist in conveyor, storage and product flow regulation systems. In partnership with its customers, the company designed and continuously developed a broad range of products. With over 85 associates ROTZINGER designs and manufactures these machines at its Kaiseraugst plant. An experienced installation team undertakes rigging as well as commissioning of the machines on-site at the customer's facility. Our loyal customer base includes many small businesses as well as various major international companies in over 50 countries. ROTZINGER machines have an excellent reputation and are frequently used in the chocolate, biscuit and pharmaceutical industries.
ROTZINGER is an independent company generating its growth mainly from within. In early 2011, ROTZINGER acquired TRANSVER AG as its subsidiary which will continue operations as a separate entity in Altendorf (CH). TRANSVER has been a leading supplier of belt systems since 1968; the team of 40 associates has acquired a global reputation.
For ROTZINGER the integration of TRANSVER is an ideal expansion of the company's product portfolio. We can now offer complete belt systems from a single supplier. We are using the combined know-how and experience of both companies' associates to develop new, customer-focused products. We are committed to maintain the current high quality standards and to develop customer-oriented features in areas such as hygiene, performance, maintenance etc in order to achieve sustainable reductions in life-cycle costs (LCC).

Code of conduct
Introduction
Our success is based to a large extent on two important factors which cannot be found in financial statements:
- The reputation of a modern company: a reliable, competitive supplier of systems and services
- The experience and competence of our associates
This reputation is very important, yet also highly vulnerable. Illegal or unethical conduct even of a single associate could have far-reaching negative consequences. Compliance with legal requirements has always been imperative for ROTZINGER and is part of our values. Only acting within the law guards against being open to blackmail.
Our conduct is shaped by our education and our culture; many things we do appear "normal" to us. However, it is important to formulate these rules of conduct so that they can become part of our culture in areas where they are not already in place.
For clarity, the following text uses the male form for functions and titles; obviously all statements apply equally to female persons.
PRINCIPLES
Compliance with the law
We advocate strict legality for all actions, measures, contracts and other actions. We do not just follow this principle because we would be subject to prosecution, fines or claims for damages and suffer commercial losses if we do not comply; we fully support the principle of acting within the law, regardless of whether ROTZINGER benefits from such behavior or not. Each associate is personally responsible for compliance with the law in his area of work. It is not permitted to encourage any third parties to act unlawfully or to knowingly participate in illegal activities; any such conduct will result in disciplinary action.
Managers are responsible for the publication, enforcement and information about possible consequences of acting against this regulation within their area of responsibility.
Company reputation
In fulfilling their tasks, all associates must consider ROTZINGER's reputation as a company.
Conduct toward associates
We respect and protect the personal dignity of each individual. Respect is one of ROTZINGER's guiding principles. We will not tolerate any religious, sexual, linguistic or other discrimination, neither will we tolerate any harassment, bullying or threats against our associates.
AVOIDING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Secondary employment
Any secondary employment is only permitted with prior approval by the management, and only if the employers concerned are not in competition with ROTZINGER and the associate's performance is not negatively affected.
Private commissioning of business partners
Associates require prior written approval by their line manager when using any of ROTZINGER's business partners privately if they are directly dealing with the handling and execution of orders so that there may be a conflict of interest.
HANDLING OF INFORMATION
Confidentiality
Any proprietary and confidential company information must be kept secret. This obligation remains in force after the termination of employment.
Data protection and information security
Privacy must be protected when processing personal data, equally the safety of all commercial information, subject to current legal requirements, in all business processes.
CONDUCT TOWARD BUSINESS PARTNERS AND THIRD PARTIES
Competition and anti-trust law
All associates are obliged to conform with the rules of fair competition within the framework of legal regulations. Special allocations of territories or customers, agreements or exchange of information on prices, conditions of supply etc are not permitted among competitors.
Relationship with suppliers and customers
Agreements with customers and suppliers must be complete and unambiguous and must be documented, including any subsequent changes or additions. Internal regulations concerning dual control ("four eyes" principle) and the separation of operational and control functions must be strictly adhered to. Suppliers must be selected on commercial grounds alone.
Corruption, gifts and other benefits
Any agreements involving favors to certain persons in connection with the procurement, commissioning, delivery, processing and payment of orders are not permitted. Commissions and payments to dealers, agents or consultants must be within a tolerable ratio to services rendered. No services must be agreed upon whose purpose may be regarded wholly or in part as a payment of bribes.
Commissions or gifts of any kind which an associate has received in the course of his professional activities or business relationships are principally company property. When giving or receiving gifts and other benefits (e.g. attending events not directly related to business) including invitations, there should be a highly restrictive approach. The financial aspects of these benefits must be such that their acceptance must not be kept secret and does not result in any binding dependency. In case of any doubt or if the financial gain exceeds CHF 200, written permission must be obtained from the relevant line manager.
PRODUCT QUALITY AND SAFETY
We aim to fulfill our customers' quality requirements. If, despite our efforts, any defects are reported, we will strive to rectify them in accordance with legal and contractual obligations.
HEALTH AND SAFETY, FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
All associates are obliged to avoid any threat to human health and the environment, reduce any environmental impact and conserve resources. Legal requirements regarding health and safety as well as fire and environmental protection must be adhered to.
REPORTING OF IRREGULARITIES
All associates are obliged to report to their superiors any instances which may be regarded in breach of this code of conduct; this may be done anonymously.
