Our customers are the focus. Our objective is achieved when our customers have achieved theirs. We are going to our limits to achieve comprehensive and lasting customer enthusiasm.
CURIOUS
For us creativity and fun in developing and finding solutions is a team sport. We have the courage to try new things and think outside the box. For us there are no problems, only challenges that we are happy to take on.
HONEST
Successful cooperation is primarily created through trust. Trust means dealing with one another in an open, fair and transparent manner.
Challenges often present themselves, and mistakes are possible – it is important to be able to admit them and do absolutely everything possible to find a solution.
SELF-CRITICAL
For us, observing ourselves critically means not standing still, but rather to keep pushing things forward and developing further. Only those who try new and different approaches, make mistakes and discuss improvements, keep finding better solutions.

Thus Matthias Hugo Scherer blazed the trail for the company in the areas of organizing accessories for pharmacies, punch cards and order automats, lettering systems, thermoforming and a leading part in the ABDA-jack card system, which are the highlights of an extremely successful industrial era.

The KLS (KUNESA –Logistic-System) revolutionized stockpiling and thus prepared the basis for most modern sales concepts in pharmacies. With the invention of the KLS the MediGliss slide, invented in 1971, enjoyed a huge popularity and is still often used for the vertical transport of merchandise and packages.

27 January 2020 – Source Federal Ministry of Health “The coronavirus has reached Germany. A man from the district of Starnberg in Bavaria has become infected, said a spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Munich……” From that point a lot changed. People got sick, the streets were deserted and everyone was just waiting for a vaccination to end this situation. Many companies had to register short-time work, others have benefited enormously from this situation. We had both situations, because out of necessity we launched a droplet protection on the market overnight. Actually, we were looking for a way to protect our over 90-year-old (great-)(great-)grandmother and within a few hours it became a product that supported our production. In the meantime, these elements in a further developed form are already an integral part of most shops, pharmacies, reception and Co.
