Environmental management

Economic and ecological measures have always been important for our corporate management. Especially in the last 15 years we have made a better effort at the environmental conscious process optimization. The executive management does also define the quality standards/requirements with sustainability and a long-term planning process. This demand includes the company in its entirety, from the building management to the production technology.

Our measures in environmental issues and energy efficiency also include:

• In the production halls we can save ~90t CO2 a year with the latest heat exchanger and heat recovery of the process heat as well as the radiant heat of the motors and compressors.
• Heating and cooling of the administration buildings with geothermal energy (annual savings of 12t CO2).
• Our own consumption of the generated electricity is >80%. In 2021, for example, we were thus able to save 227t of CO2.
• The roofs of our productions halls are used for regenerative energy production by means of photovoltaic modules.
• We mind that we only buy goods and provide external processes to suppliers who also respect these legislative standards.
• Reuse of reusable packaging and biodegradable filling material.

For us it is very important to preserve a habitable environment for future generations. Our permanent aspiration is to make every effort to continue to find ways to save energy and to intensify the development of renewable energies.
