Employee stories
Kathy Lan, Corporate culture as a critical success factor
I soon realized that the company is well-placed in the promising space of specialty chemicals for the surface-treatment industry. Demand for their products is strong and increasing, particularly with the strength of high-tech manufacturing. No wonder its financial reports look good!
That was my initial idea about Atotech and its booming businesses. However, I soon became aware of an even more critical reason: Atotech is successful because of its corporate culture – its DNA. A DNA based on respect, openness, and support.
“Customer orientation” is regarded as one of the most important behaviours in Atotech. We show strong respect to our customers to build long-term and trusting relationships with them. In addition, diversity and respect are core values. We respect our colleagues and partners in a multicultural background. People here are open for different opinions and embracing changes and innovation. You will get strong support from the managers and peers whenever you approach them. I feel good working for Atotech.”

Kyunghun Park, from staff member to Asia Pacific Regional Finance Controller
I started there in 2011 as a finance staff member, and have never gotten tired of it. While some people may think that accounting doesn’t sound like fun, in my view it is exciting and demanding – especially at Atotech.
Finance/Controlling at Atotech is constantly exposed to new challenges and tasks, which gives me an opportunity to develop myself. One thing I learned at Atotech is how to focus on work and produce effective results. Atotech guided me towards becoming a top expert by improving my knowledge of finance.
On top of that, the flexible working environment has not locked me in just one country but allowed me to broaden my vision and expand my capabilities through regional and global responsibilities. As a Korean Finance controller, I used to travel to Japan and Germany. Now I am in charge of Regional Asia Pacific Finance and am solving issues related to Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand with a very diverse group of colleagues.
All in all, Atotech has helped me to grow personally, continuously sparked my motivation and given me opportunities to grow and challenge myself – all of which make me feel a valuable member of the Atotech family. If you have positive attitude, are bold, and appreciate a good challenge, Atotech will set the stage for you to perform.”

Laure Bayet, from Process Development in France to Applications Manager in the USA
I was soon offered the opportunity to move, temporarily, to the USA as a Product Specialist for paint detackification in the Global Product Team – Paint Support Technology (“PST”).
Little did I know that I would still be here 15 years later!
By providing the necessary training and mentoring needed to explore new fields of expertise, Atotech helped me grow, thrive, and expand my horizons in the USA Paint Support Technology (PST) team.
Through my various roles, I was given the rare chance to travel the world, work with colleagues of quite diverse origins, brush up on some language skills and discover wildly different cultures.
Working at Atotech, I am constantly challenged to further improve my knowledge because our team is exposed to the ever-evolving customer demands around the world and we are committed to bring them the best possible solutions.
Atotech’s dedication to world-class customer service makes it unique in the industry and makes me feel proud to be part of such a team.”
Laure Bayet, Applications Manager PST in Rock Hill, USA
