Service to the market &
Cus­tomer-ori­en­ta­tion

Ser­vice to the mar­ket

We add value to agri­cul­tural com­modi­ties in order to pro­duce high qual­ity food­stuffs, an­i­mal feeds and or­ganic fer­tilis­ers as well as tech­ni­cal and in­ter­me­di­ary prod­ucts for in­dus­trial ap­pli­ca­tions. Im­por­tant cor­ner­stones here are long-term and part­ner­shipori­ented cus­tomer and sup­plier re­la­tion­ships.

Cus­tomer-ori­en­ta­tion

We offer prod­ucts and ser­vices that fully meet the needs and ex­pec­ta­tions of our cus­tomers. We aim to dif­fer­en­ti­ate our­selves from com­peti­tors by means of high prod­uct qual­ity, out­stand­ing ser­vice level, in­no­v­a­tive ideas as well as eco­log­i­cal and so­cial re­spon­si­bil­ity which is re­flected in our ac­tions. We are cre­ative, flex­i­ble, ded­i­cated and al­ways look­ing for new mar­kets for our prod­ucts. Our in­no­v­a­tive power and re­search and de­vel­op­ment work, to­gether with our new prod­ucts launches tai­lored to cus­tomer re­quire­ments, drive our lead­er­ship in the mar­ket­place.

Profit constitutes the basis for the economic sustainability of our enterprise’s activities. We ensure AGRA NA’s sustainable increase in enterprise value and the ability to distribute dividends to shareholders through continued growth and consistent improvement in productivity, as well as through “profitizing” – the constant striving to increase profits and optimise our business processes and structures in all our operating companies. We seek to diversify risks to our business to achieve a well-balanced global business portfolio. Optimising our value added is a cornerstone in our efforts to provide continual increases in the enterprise value of AGRANA.
