DAW SE - Values & Culture

As a family business, traditional family values are part of our corporate culture.

Even though we have developed into one of the largest building paints dealers and service providers in Switzerland in over 60 years, we still believe in the values that are rooted in our sustainable company philosophy and family spirit.
These values unite to form a common attitude ("one spirit"), which is also decisive for our ability to change and thus for the primary company goal of maintaining our independence in the long term.
We want to fill our values with life through daily conscious actions, both internally and externally, and continuously develop and strengthen them. The sum of our many small actions makes us unique and ultimately leads to the success of the company.
