15 POSITIVE YEARS

AND STILL OUT IN THE LEAD...

Positivity and happiness at work have become major concerns in the modern world. This is a real megatrend which mobilizes companies, large and small, public and private. The pursuit of the big three – well-being, happiness and kindness – has become a priority to put people back at the heart of companies. Since its creation, this dimension has been written into POSITIVE COATING’s DNA. Its founders wanted to instill these positive values in the name of the company itself, in order to develop a real identity and corporate culture.

Since the company’s creation, a positive and daring approach has guided every decision it has taken. This has helped establish a working climate and atmosphere where pleasure, authenticity, transparency, well-being and the human dimension are key factors.

THIS POSITIVE DIMENSION IS EXPRESSED BY VARIOUS INDICATORS:

  • WORKFORCE MIX (more than 67% women)
  • MIXED OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT (more combinations of talents)
  • PART-TIME WORK (option taken by more than 39% of the workforce)
  • COMPANY LOYALTY (more than 50% of the workforce have been here for more than 5 years)
  • VARIED CULTURAL ORIGINS (more than 10 different origins)
  • FREE HIERARCHY, A ROLE RATHER THAN A TITLE (more agility for the business and more autonomy for colleagues)

“It is by instilling positive values that you develop a winning team”, states Pierre-Albert Steinmann. Isabelle Droz adds: “Each employee plays a role in the success of the company. A big thank you to our team for these last 15 positive years”.

The company is now enjoying great success thanks to its genuine expertise in decorative coatings for high added-value items made from metals and ceramics. One of the keys to its success is its constant innovation, crowned by the various patents it holds. Its industrial production capacity, supported by a research-oriented engineering department, enables the company to share its expertise with a large customer base.

Committed to providing a professional service, POSITIVE COATING puts proximity, responsiveness, flexibility and quality at the very heart of its activity. It can boast a reputation as a reliable and dynamic partner, recognized by the top brands and leading companies in the luxury goods field and mainly in the watchmaking, leather goods, jewelry and writing implements sectors. It also has a highly promising future in the field of medical technology.

EQUIPE POSITIVE COATING 2020
The family-run company has around 30 qualified employees at its production site and its infrastructure reflects the scale of its ambitions.

Happiness at work and employee well-being as factors in performance – both individual and collective – is now well established. Responsible for ensuring happy workers, the “Chief Happiness Officer” is a role which originated in the heart of Silicon Valley around a decade ago… POSITIVE COATING is proof that Watch Valley was already very attuned to these concerns 15 years ago!
