WHERE DO WE START?
How about Kansas City? That’s our home. That’s where Garmin put a stake in the ground in 1989. We’ve grown substantially over the years, offering diverse products and global reach in 5 diverse markets. But some things won’t ever change: Our entrepreneurial spirit and a culture where everyone’s opinion matters. That’s because we believe it’s possible to light the tech world on fire and still be on a first name basis.
BIG IDEAS, SMALL EGOS
What we do best is make products that let our customers do what they love. To do that, we focus on practical innovation, never losing sight of the benefits our products bring to our customers. Sure, we love bells and whistles. What leading technology company doesn't? But we make sure ours have purpose. It’s not about the things we make. It’s about the things we make possible.
WE’RE GLOBAL, SERIOUSLY.
Yeah, we’re based in Kansas City, but we are truly a global company. With offices throughout Europe, Asia, Middle East, South America and Australia, our products are sold all over the world. One elevator ride at our headquarters and you’re likely to hear 4 (or more) different languages being spoken. At Garmin, we may act local, but we think global.
DREAM BIG. SLEEP WELL.
At Garmin, we like to encourage dreamers. But at some point it’s nice to wake up and enjoy a fully aware life. So we make it super easy to achieve a good balance between working, dreaming and enjoying life—from workout classes offered throughout the day, breaks to get out and move on our campus, and wellness programs offered throughout the year. It’s almost impossible not to take advantage of Garmin’s work-life balance opportunities.

“Be sure.” This motto is in equal measure a slogan and the key to the success of Testo, whose headquarters are in Titisee in the Black Forest. This globally active high-tech company is an expert in highly precise measurement technology and innovative measurement solutions.
Testo’s customers range from the local contracting company around the corner to the global pharmaceutical firm. They all have to make important decisions in their daily work. And that’s when they depend on the measuring instrumentation, solutions and services from Testo. Because these ensure that foods are safe, heating systems work correctly or that compliance is fulfilled in the production of drugs. This allows our customers to increase the quality of products and services while saving time and resources.
From its beginnings as a small manufacturer of temperature measuring instruments, today Testo is a global concern. Testo SE & Co. KGaA has a presence on all continents, with 37 subsidiaries and more than 80 trade partners. An average annual growth of over 10% since the foundation of the company in 1957 and a current turnover of 466,5 million euros clearly demonstrate that the Black Forest and high-tech systems are a perfect match. Testo has a strategy of sustainable and profitable growth, and not least the extraordinary commitment of the staff to thank for this success. Roughly 3,900 Testorians worldwide research, develop, produce and market for the company with passion and expertise.
The above-average investments in the future of the company are part of the recipe for success. Testo invests about a tenth of its annual global turnover in Research & Development. Whether in agile project management or the attention to megatrends such as the internet of things – dynamics and orientation to the future characterize Testo. This is one of the reasons the company is regularly awarded the title of one of the most innovative medium-sized firms in Germany.
