WHO IS HEXAGON?

Hexagon Group AG was established in Zurich, Switzerland at the beginning of November 2018.
The company is owned by its managers and outside investors.

The members of the management bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the company that grants competent, reliable, professional and efficient service to our business partners, to suppliers, customers, ship owners, warehouse and tank owners, financial institutions and tens of other specialists who all contribute to the success of our business. Our investors have impressive track records both as entrepreneurs and as executives. They have decided to invest in Hexagon because they share our ideas, our values and our passion to build something special.

OUR VISION

We believe in integrity, reliability, honesty, hard work, professionalism, long term views, passion and team work. We are convinced that as long as we stick together and align our goals, we will be successful. We know that there are good times and bad times, and we have no doubt in our mind that bad times are big opportunities; opportunities to learn, to be humble, and eventually rise again better and stronger.

We put “quality” above “quantity”. It goes without saying that we want to grow our company, but we deem it more important to always be good, actually to be best in class. Being best in class doesn’t necessarily mean to be the biggest, but it proves that you are doing your job right. We always want to do our job right!

«We are operating very locally with all our business partners, but at the same time we are very global. The world is our territory, each location is our home.»
William Giger, VP Operations

«The biggest compliment we can get from all our business partners is when they look forward to repeating the business with us.»
Francisco Ayala, VP Trading

«The biggest reward we can get from our people is when they come to work with a smile in the morning, and when that smile is even bigger when they go home in the evening.»
Christian Wendel, Executive Chairman
