Working at Collano – where trust counts more than hierarchy
Collano is a Swiss family business – and a place where people can really make a difference. We develop and produce adhesives. But it's not our products that matter most, it's the people behind them.
Our attitude
We value courage, pragmatism, and genuine cooperation. We work in an uncomplicated manner, make quick decisions, and assign responsibility where it belongs: to the people who make a difference every day.
We believe in a positive view of humanity and live by it. This is how we create a working environment that empowers people. What we express in our mission statement is what you experience in your everyday work. For you, this means:
Trust instead of control
We give people freedom instead of imposing rules.
Learning instead of perfection
Mistakes are part of progress. We talk openly about them and learn together.
Authenticity instead of staging
We are a team of equals. What you contribute is what counts to us.
Pragmatism instead of politics
We implement instead of discussing. And we make decisions quickly.

What makes Collano special
We work on equal terms.
Every voice counts here—regardless of position or title.
We combine reliability with curiosity.
As a family business, we stand for stability. As an innovator, we stand for progress.
We develop, produce, and implement everything under one roof.
Our laboratory, technical center, production facility, and office work closely together. This creates proximity, speed, and a genuine team culture.
