Our strategy for a better world
With a tradition spanning more than 170 years, it is our declared goal to leave behind an environment worth living in for future generations.
Since July 2020, we have been using 100% renewable energy at our sites in Warmensteinach; special wastewater centrifuges treat our process water in such a way that we can largely avoid using valuable fresh water in the manufacture of our products.
We are proud to make an important contribution to greater sustainability and to promote a more conscious use of our planet’s finite resources with our future-proof products and services and their constant further development.
