People at Graphius

RECRUITMENT POLICY

Due to the aging of the graphics sector, young people are important for the future of our company. We take this into account when recruiting new employees.

WORKING AT GRAPHIUS

Since 2016, we have been planning annual performance reviews with all employees. In addition, Graphius wants to encourage its employees to choose a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

BIKE POLICY

Graphius offers a flexible and generous cycling policy for all its employees so they are rewarded for their contribution to a better climate.

Graphius & Society

NEIGHBOURHOOD

As a family business, Graphius has historical ties with Oostakker (Ghent). The site of today’s Graphius has grown significantly in recent years and is surrounded by a residential area.

SOCIETY

Graphius sees social involvement as more than just attention and care for people, internally and externally. We must also (dare to) take steps to raise awareness among consumers and suppliers.
