We bundle our social commitment under the umbrella of the PIA Foundation. Commitment to the common good is an integral part of our corporate mission and is therefore anchored in the PIA Mission.

PIA INSIDE: COMMUNICATION THAT Covers the PIA - World

As our company grows into a globally networked organization with locations in Europe, Asia and North America, the challenge of communicating with each other smoothly and effectively increases. An outstanding platform for communication in the PIA world is our internal company magazine PIA INSIDE, which is published at regular intervals and informs about current developments in the industries and keeps all employees up to date with the latest news at the PIA locations.

Our corporate values

We create innovation by listening and learning with openness.

We collaborate globally as one team with appreciation.

We deliver results with focus, reliability and agility.

PIA Life - Coming Together, Connecting

We are a company that depends on the ideas of its employees, so it’s important to us that our employees enjoy working at PIA and are free to develop their skills. In addition to an excellent working enviroment, PIA Life also offers employees a range of activities outside working hours, promoting solidarity and helping them to simply enjoy themselves. The activities include joint excursions and sporting events such as the PIA Business Marathon – however, we also host less strenuous events like joint summer parties and health & safety activities! PIA Automation is a project-organized company. Strict hierarchies have no place in our company – we believe that anyone who has an idea should be able to share it, so a suggestion scheme is in place through which every employee, regardless of his or her department, can contribute individual ideas.

PIA Life is a comprehensive program which is available to all our employees:

Occupational health management
Organization of projects and events for employees: Sports events, health day, summer party, a company run
Health & safety training like first aid courses
various sports activities such as yoga, fitness, body workout, nutritional advice etc.
