Mission & Values

4 Questions for Jörg Jetter, Founder & CEO of 4JET

Mr. Jetter, what makes your laser process solutions stand out?

Our laser process solutions provide quality surfaces by reliable adhesion-, flow-, molding- or electrical properties, as  well as high contrast markings or precise and crack-free separation  edges in glass.

Many companies are looking for ways to produce more sustainably. How do your technologies contribute to this goal?
We enable sustainable, environmentally friendly production by dry, chemical-free laser processing with virtually no residual  materials, and low resource consumption and large greenhouse gas savings compared to conventional processes.

In addition to sustainability, economic efficiency is crucial. How do you support your customers in this regard?
We help customers to be economically successful by offering photonic tools with high repeatability and flexibility, low running cost and a high degree of automation and productivity. 

Which values guide you as an entrepreneur and employer?
We want to be fair and reliable business partners and a good employer and corporate citizen that takes responsibility by living up to our commitments, educating  the young, prioritizing people’s health over profits and strictly  assuring safe and sound business operations. If you want to help us to  identify and fix wrong behavior please contact us:  Whistleblowing@4jet.de
