CES.
Focusing on what really matters: people. People are at the heart of everything we do: our employees, customers, partners and suppliers.
Working together in a spirit of trust, we at CES have been collaborating for more than 180 years to design access solutions for the present and the future. To bring people together and provide access to everything that matters.
We are opening up
It’s all about human connectionsCES’s strength lies in its rich family history. This forms the foundation for trust between staff, customers, partners and suppliers.
The opportunity to seize chances here, broaden our horizons, and actively shape the future are key reasons why many of my colleagues and I enjoy working at CES. We are valued for who we are and what we can do. That is highly motivating and, yes, sometimes challenging as well.
Trust, belief in our own potential, and honesty are essential for growing as individuals and as a company.
Lara Strohmenger
Head of Human Resources
When I started at CES, I was in a completely different position to the one I’m in today.
From the very beginning, I was shown trust and appreciation; my potential was recognised, and that gave me the chance to surpass myself. I’m very grateful for that.
Eleni Bombosch
E-commerce Product Manager
The many new faces, new products and machines on display show that CES is an innovative and modern company. At the same time, it remains true to its reputation as a family-run business.
Recep Kibritoglu
Master Electroplater
A positive working environment, a friendly atmosphere and the chance to interact with other trainees make CES a place where we enjoy learning, growing and making progress together.
Sarah Nowak
Commercial trainee
CES always gives me plenty of freedom, responsibility and scope to realise my ambitions and, in doing so, take the company to the next level.
Steven Hartemink
Product Manager
We treat one another and our business partners with sincerity and loyalty, just as we would within a family. We trust each other’s intentions, recognise talent and are open to new ideas. For us, connection through trust is both a given and something we value deeply.
My own journey shows what is possible at CES: from my first holiday job as a teenager right up to the present day, I have been able to develop step by step. Today, I am delighted to be able to offer these opportunities to others as well.
The doors to this are wide open.
Bernd Becker
Managing Director of CES
I enjoy going to work ‘almost’ every day. We tackle challenges together and always manage to find a solution. ‘It can’t be done’ isn’t in our vocabulary.
We tackle even the most complicated problems with a passion for our work, each of us drawing on our own expertise.
Simone Czech
Deputy Segment Manager
Anyone who walks through the doors at CES immediately senses the open culture. Our brand values are put into practice everywhere: by employees who have been part of our family-run business for decades, as well as by young colleagues who take on responsibility at an early stage.
With personal responsibility, team spirit, passion and an openness to new technologies, we develop future-proof solutions. This means we have everything it takes to continue to be successful in the future.

Our long history
Since the company was founded in 1840, thousands of employees have felt a sense of connection with one another and with the family business. Even today’s shareholders – the seventh generation of the founder’s family – are still part of the family. Then as now, generations of employees have learnt from and inspired one another. As a result, knowledge has never been lost but has been constantly expanded and deepened to keep pace with technological advances.
Today, we have grown into a company with more than 400 employees worldwide, operating in many countries. With our bespoke solutions, we provide access to everything that matters.
Our rich history forms the foundation for our leading mechanical and electronic access solutions. Our commitment to sustainable development takes us one step further every day.
