Kautex – Committed to Fairness and Opportunity
At Kautex, we believe that a positive employee experience starts with fairness, transparency, and mutual respect. We are proud to be recognized for creating an environment where students, graduates, and experienced professionals can learn, grow, and succeed.
We are pleased to share that Kautex has once again been recognized as a FAIR Company in 2026. The FAIR Company initiative recognizes employers that demonstrate a strong commitment to fair working conditions, responsible employment practices, and attractive career opportunities for young professionals and future talent.
As part of our commitment to these principles, Kautex places a strong emphasis on providing meaningful learning experiences for interns and students. Interns receive clear responsibilities, dedicated support, and opportunities to develop their skills while gaining valuable insight into a global automotive supplier. Feedback from participants helps us continuously improve and maintain a positive, engaging work environment.
By fostering a culture built on trust, development, and fairness, we strive to create rewarding career experiences for current and future employees alike.

European Social Fund Project - Employee Trainings
Kautex Textron in Tessenderlo (Belgium) has come to the point where they are evolving towards self-managing teams within their production. In order to achieve this goal, we must invest in training that recognizes, develops and stimulates the social skills of our production staff. We want to further develop this stimulation of social skills within the ESF for our production operators, first-line managers and group leaders. With the project "train jezelf naar een betere wij" ("train yourself towards a better us"), Kautex Belgium wants to pursue a threefold goal:
- Better communication within our company
- Correctly handling conflict management
- Stimulating intrinsic motivation in the workplace
To achieve this goal, we want to invest in training to develop these skills and show them on the work floor. With the help of the European Union, we are able to realize this.
Another Kautex Textron plant in Mallersdorf (Germany) is also running projects which are funded by the ESF and which also pursue the above-mentioned goals.
Mallersdorf started the project shopfloor leadership training with a focus on social competencies. This is a special training session for team and group leaders in the production. It is a special training while employees with management responsibilities in the production area are trained and sensitized with regard to the topic of social skills. It should enable to improve the communication between supervisors and employees because motivated employees are the key to the success of a company. The aim of the project is to systematically develop and strengthen the social skills of team and group leaders. The training is co-financed by ESF Bayern.
