We generate business responsibly, in order to deliver healthy growth
STERAC was founded in 1979 and, as a traditional family-run business, places significant value on continuity and independence. The core of our company philosophy is securing the company's long-term future and thus the retention and creation of secure jobs for those working in the company. We view social responsibility in terms of commercial strength, qualitative, sustainable growth as well as perspective, qualification and a pleasant working environment for members of staff. This approach has enabled STERAC to foster an above-average level of commitment among its staff, coupled with ambition and a drive to perform well. We are proud of the sense of responsibility our staff feel, from which we generate our growth and high quality logistical products with process-oriented conceptualisation and transparency.
Any collaboration with our company is characterised by a mutual sense of integrity and fairness. This applies to all parties affiliated with the company – customers, suppliers, members of staff. We place significant value on a close connection with, and the continuous development of, our high quality relationships with customers and suppliers. We achieve this by way of the individual and flexible solutions that you would expect from a proactive specialist. We channel our efforts into the continuous development of specific markets for our products, as well as the exploration of new spheres of activity for our portfolio. We achieve this both through our own production and through the use of reputable, long-term sub contractors. A professional management approach helps to deliver greater durability when it comes to complex customer processes, in addition to the utilisation of synergies and high-level system integration, and therefore ensures that STERAC can fulfil its development potential in the future. This is then marketed using a targeted and equally professional marketing strategy.
As a regionally established and globally active stakeholder we play our role in protecting the environment within the metropolitan region of Hamburg. The ‘green logistics’ concept plays a key role in our processes, which is underpinned by certifications, multi-modal transport and the use of renewable energy sources. Innovative, continuous development in connection with regular training of staff is not an end in itself for generating a good public image, but is rather a definitive value of our entrepreneurial self image of quality and long-term success. Food safety - certified by IFS Logistics - is an important component of our company policy. We are well aware of the role we play in the food chain as a transport and logistics service provider. It is therefore our responsibility to reduce any possible interference with the quality and safety of food to an absolute minimum, using the organisational and technical possibilities available. The hazards and risks which were determined and assessed in line with HACCP requirements, which can occur during transport, handling or loading, are avoided through the implementation of preventative programmes. We naturally comply with statutory regulations and specialist requirements stipulated by customers concerning food quality and safety. This quality standard expected of our own service not only covers foodstuff but is also a key feature of our day-to-day working practices.
Ultimately, what matters to our customers is that they can rely on STERAC no matter what. We believe that it is therefore helpful to work according to demanding principles, which form the solid foundations of a business relationship when it comes to sustainability, quality and fairness.
