Sterimed is an international group with its roots firmly in France, and a world leader in the manufacture of sterilisation packaging designs for medical device manufacturers, hospitals and the pharmaceutical industry. Packaging for sterile medical devices is a specialist market in the world of healthcare. The packaging ensures that the medical device is sterilised and remains sterile until it is used on a patient. It is an essential element in the fight against infections.
The Sterimed Group is made up of several companies that have joined the group over the years. These members of the Sterimed family bring complementary know-how, skills and business activities to the group and our customers, all serving the medical device, hospital and pharmaceutical industries. The strength of this community, which we like to call an "Association of Entrepreneurs", combined with a strong focus on synergy, means that we are world leaders in our markets.
All members share a common VISION
As pioneers of a responsible medical packaging industry, we are all working together to improve patient safety.
Achieving this vision rests on three strong and inseparable cornerstones of our strategic compass :
This compass sets out our short-, medium- and long-term objectives at group level and is tailored to each of Sterimed's member companies.
At Sterimed, entrepreneurship is a philosophy, a mindset for the projects, issues and initiatives we undertake. Our DNA is underpinned by a culture of trust, and we encourage initiative by making everyone individually responsible and by deploying the principles of subsidiarity and empowerment.
Entrepreneurship also means sharing profits, involving and benefiting all employees in value creation. This notion of sharing is one of our driving forces. This is why we regularly run employee shareholding campaigns, offering every woman and man who works at Sterimed the opportunity to become a shareholder at Group level.
Our corporate values play a crucial role in how we operate and reflect our commitments. They embody our identity, define what we believe in, what we stand for and how we operate, and there are four of them:
ENTREPRENEURSHIP,
EXCELLENCE,
SOLIDARITY,
VALUE CREATION.
These four values are shared by all the companies in the group, which is essential for our sustainability and long-term future.
