Environmental Commitment

As a company, we hold a clear responsibility towards the environment. We actively engage in conserving natural resources and minimizing environmental impact. Our continuous improvement processes aim to develop sustainable products and establish eco-friendly manufacturing procedures.

Our commitment to sustainability encompasses the following measures:

Legal Compliance

Our dedication extends beyond adhering to laws and regulations. We share the vision of reducing energy consumption throughout the lifecycle of our products and replacing hazardous chemicals. By further developing our technologies and our innovative products, we continuously minimize our environmental footprint. We are committed to ongoing improvement and transparency of our environmental impact to not only meet but exceed industry standards. Together with our partners, we work on sustainable practices along the entire supply chain to respect and protect the environment.

Renewable Energy

Since the installation of our 440 m² photovoltaic system, we have been using every square meter to produce solar energy. This allows us to entirely cover our own energy requirements and reduce our ecological footprint. The current daily values can be viewed at any time in our foyer.

Emission Reduction

We are actively working to minimize air, water, soil and noise pollution. This includes the use of recycled materials in our packaging. The majority of our employees travel to the office by train or bicycle and have the option of teleworking.

Energy Efficiency

Mindful energy usage holds paramount importance for us. In 2023, we equipped our corporate buildings with modern heating systems and enhanced insulation. Simultaneously, we introduced a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient SMT manufacturing facility by Essemtec.
