Our company
profile.

Dear employees,

For over 100 years now, Driescher has stood for innovation, quality and reliability in switchgear manufacturing. Thanks to your daily work, your commitment and your know-how, we have managed to hold our own in the market, even against large companies, and to continuously develop further.

Today we are facing new challenges - and the management, together with the shareholders, have decided to revise our market presence and redesign our corporate design, logo and claim - in the language of marketing experts, a so-called relaunch of the Driescher brand.

Why should we modernize our image after a century of proven company history? The answer is simple: in order to remain successful in the future, we need to present our company in a contemporary and future-oriented way. Our previous image has accompanied us for many years and represented us well. But the world is changing - and with it the way we want and need to be perceived.

Current challenges & our response

Our industry is currently facing major changes:

  • Digitalization and automation: New technologies are transforming our industry. A modern corporate design signals that we are actively shaping these developments.
  • Competitive pressure and globalization: We operate in an increasingly international market. A strong visual identity helps us be perceived worldwide as an innovative and reliable partner.
  • Skills shortage: To attract and retain talented employees, we must present ourselves as an attractive employer – a fresh, contemporary design plays an important role, especially for younger employees.
  • Sustainability and social responsibility: Our company relies on sustainable solutions. A modern corporate identity can communicate these values ​​even more strongly.

But what is corporate design?

Corporate design is the consistent appearance of a company. This includes the logo, colors, fonts, and many other visual elements. It ensures that our company presents a professional and recognizable image to the outside world. You can compare it to work uniforms: Just as we are immediately recognizable as a team when we wear uniforms, corporate design ensures that our company is immediately recognized everywhere – be it on our machines, in documents, or at trade fairs.

Corporate design is much more than just a logo or a specific color scheme. It is the face of our company, the first thing customers, business partners, and new talent see. A modern, professional, and consistent appearance signals strength, progress, and innovativeness – precisely what sets us apart at Driescher.

Our new logo aims to honor our tradition while simultaneously reflecting modernity and dynamism. The new claim succinctly captures what we stand for and where we want to go. It's not about discarding our past, but rather about building a bridge to the future.

What does our logo stand for?

  1. We can be proud of our company: A fresh, modern design also demonstrates to the outside world that we are a company that is constantly on the move and constantly evolving. Everyone at Driescher is part of this success story!
  2. We identify with our company: Stronger identification: A contemporary corporate design strengthens the sense of community. It ensures a consistent appearance – from workwear to vehicle lettering to corporate communications.
  3. We have a modern external image: Customers, partners, and potential specialists perceive us as progressive, innovative, and competitive. This helps us acquire customers and attract new, talented employees to our company.
  4. We are distinctive: A modern logo ensures high recognition and increases our brand presence in digital media and international markets.

Our values remain - our future begins now.

This relaunch is a milestone in making our next 100 years as successful as the last. Of course, change also requires acceptance and commitment from all of us. That‘s why we will keep you informed in detail about the changes over the coming weeks and months and will always keep you updated.

Your management
