SHERIDAN, WYOMING – August 26, 2025 – For the first time in its history, the Truma Group has been recognized with the prestigious TOP JOB seal, a German award honoring the best employers in the mid-sized business sector. While the company’s subsidiary, Truma Gerätetechnik GmbH & Co. KG, has already secured the title four times, the 2025 award marks the first group-wide win — a milestone fueled by employee satisfaction, family-oriented values, and forward-thinking sustainability initiatives.
A Company Culture That Keeps People Close
One of the most striking results from the employee survey, which formed the basis of the award, is the strong bond staff feel with the company. Nearly 80 percent of Truma’s 1,000 global employees participated in the evaluation, with an average tenure of ten years — a rare level of loyalty in today’s job market.
Much of this comes down to the company’s roots. Family ownership for over 75 years has shaped a culture where people aren’t just numbers but active contributors to growth. “Am Erfolg unseres Unternehmens sind maßgeblich die Mitarbeitenden beteiligt und entsprechend wichtig ist es für uns, regelmäßig zu erfahren, wie zufrieden sie sind und wo es Entwicklungspotenzial gibt. Die vielen konstruktiven Vorschläge werden wir in den kommenden Monaten bearbeiten. Wir freuen uns natürlich sehr über die Verbesserungen, die wir in einigen Bereichen im Vergleich zur letzten Umfrage erzielen konnten und dass unser Gesamtergebnis zum Erhalt des TOP JOB-Siegels geführt hat,” said Alexander Wottrich, Co-CEO of the Truma Group.
Why Work-Life Balance Matters
Truma Group stood out in areas of employee retention and talent management, but the company’s real-life benefits are where it shines for workers. Flexible hours, broad flextime windows, and tailored part-time options give employees control over their schedules. Parents receive support with on-site childcare and guaranteed reintegration into attractive roles after parental leave.
In comparison with many traditional employers, which still struggle with rigid schedules, Truma’s openness to remote work and even workation opportunities shows a modern approach. This level of flexibility makes a big difference in everyday life — reducing stress, giving more family time, and making work feel less like a constraint.
Sustainability as Part of Everyday Work
Beyond workplace culture, Truma’s eco-conscious mindset also played a role in securing its TOP JOB recognition. Since 2005, the company has generated solar power at its Putzbrunn site near Munich, covering rooftops with panels. Today, its fleet includes electric vehicles, it operates entirely on green electricity, and by 2026 it plans to switch fully to district heating.
Employees experience this commitment directly. Rainwater-fed systems reduce waste in restrooms, while new heating solutions are being developed for electric camping vehicles, reflecting the company’s mission to minimize fossil fuel use. For a workforce that often loves outdoor leisure and camping, this connection between sustainability and lifestyle feels especially authentic.
How Truma Compares to Other Employers
When stacked against many mid-sized companies in Germany, Truma stands out for turning big ideas into tangible actions.
- Truma: Family ownership, flexible work models, sustainability-driven operations.
- Typical mid-sized firms: Often traditional hierarchy, less work-life flexibility, slower adoption of green energy.
This combination of progressive benefits and family-style culture explains why so many employees not only stay but thrive — making Truma more than just an employer, but a community.
