Resources
We believe the knowledge and experience of our staff to be our most important asset. That is why we actively support the professional and personal development of every FATH employee and why we have a highly motivated and dynamic team.

In addition we also take responsibility fort he region in which we work. For example, together with the city of Spalt we created the "Youth Offensive Spalt", an initiative to stimulate and challenge young people with projects that can lead to professional qualifications.

Our office and production facility was built and equipped along biological guide lines: the wooden construction is heated by block heating and the surplus heat of our production machines; all the computer work stations have flat screens and osmosis filters are used to improve the quality of the drinking water.

Our unconventional way of thinking allows us to make the most of all the different resources available to us.
   
Goals
Our long term goal is to become THE international manufacturer and supplier of components for the machine building industry.

Worldwide, the name FATH should become synonymous with excellent price-quality relations and clear practical solutions.

Our business activities should equally benefit customers, suppliers and employees.
