The mey Way – our principles.

The mey Way

The mey Way describes our unwritten, practiced and envisaged principles as well as who we are in collaboration with our employees, customers, shareholders and partners. This understanding sets the standards and guidelines for how we think and act each and every day.

Our position | What makes us unique?

We are proud to be a family-owned company that has been independent since 1928. We produce in Europe and are at home in the Swabian Alb. For decades, we have produced from yarn to end product predominantly in our own factories. The balance between tradition and innovation enables us to produce unique bodywear that meets the highest standards of quality, craftsmanship and design – and to delight our customers in the process. We are a confident and experienced brand that is distinguished by premium quality, value creation and contemporary design.

We are a family-owned company with particularly high standards and an innovative spirit. We inspire our customers and our customers inspire us.

Our vision | Where do we want to go?

We are an internationally coveted bodywear and lifestyle brand, which is why we think in terms of generations and regularly set trends. Our innovation secures our future viability and allows us to create and maintain jobs. We produce exclusively under our own name. We win over our customers with our passion and premium quality, which in turn leads customers to become loyal brand messengers.

We are a highly regarded bodywear and lifestyle brand that is synonymous with quality, standards and a customer focus.

Our values | What is our work based on?

We are innovative, quality-conscious and responsible. Innovation not only means creating something new to us, but also continuously improving the company, our products and processes. As an owner-operated family business, we place the highest demands on the quality of our work and make no compromises when it comes to material, quality or processing. Acting responsibly is an integral part of our corporate culture. That is why we align our sustainability strategy with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and are constantly working to further develop standards and processes throughout our value chain (as detailed in the mey CR Report 2024). Our aim is to achieve long-term, sustainable success with our products.

The customer is at the heart of everything we do.

Our family culture | How do we work together?

Our entire company is a family. We communicate at eye level and with great respect and both recognise and highly value the contribution made by each individual. Every individual takes active responsibility for their role in the company.

Our interactions are open, honest and sometimes emotional. Constructive criticism and disputes express how passionate we are about excellent products. Quick decision making processes allow for responsible, independent and entrepreneurial activity. We think and work beyond departments and see ourselves as a whole.

We work with discipline and are goal oriented. We provide encouragement. Our credo is to rethink things, examine how we and others work and to accept and support change – so we can improve even just a bit each day.
