Our Culture

At Hollister Incorporated, everything we do is based on the fundamental values and principles of our founder John Dickinson Schneider and his wife Minnie Schneider. This strong foundation — which we call The Schneiders' Legacy — is built around our company's Mission, Vision, and Immutable Principles.

Our culture and our Immutable Principles — Dignity of the Person, Service, Integrity, and Stewardship — guide us in the decisions we make, the ways we interact with each other, and how we serve our customers. We are passionate about our Associates, our organization, and the people who count on our products and services every day.

“ Our corporate culture is the living expression of The Schneiders' Legacy. It defines the character of our company.” V. George Maliekel
President and CEO, Hollister Incorporated

As an independent, employee-owned company, we do not exist to maximize shareholder value. We do recognize, however, that profitability allows us to look outward to the needs of healthcare professionals and the people they serve.

Our Mission: To make life more rewarding and dignified for the people who use our products and services.

Hollister Incorporated is focused on serving others, and our Associates are fully committed to who we are, what we do, and how we succeed. At all levels, we are empowered to look continuously for better ways to do our jobs, and maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of our processes. Through our culture of candor, Associates are encouraged to raise issues or concerns, and be a part of the solution. We all give our best each day, and work together to help our company grow and prosper and, in the process, become better human beings.

“ Our most recent Associate Organization Survey showed strong Associate engagement at 80%, which is considered 'best in class' compared to other organizations.”
