Guided by the three pillars of ecology, economy, and social responsibility, we make responsible decisions that benefit both people and the environment. We are committed to a sustainable future in which innovation and environmental awareness go hand in hand.
Learn more here about how we, as a leading manufacturer in dispersing and fine grinding technology, are working to make the production of our machines more climate-neutral.
ECONOMY
Long-term success requires sustainable business practices. Innovation drives us forward, and we continuously develop smart solutions that not only protect the environment but also reduce costs. By investing in research and development, we lay the foundation for sustainable progress and long-term success—benefiting both our company and our customers.
ECOLOGY
For us, green is not just a color - it is a guiding principle. In our production halls, machines are manufactured using green energy while conserving natural resources. We think in cycles and harness what nature provides - sun, wind, and more are our silent partners. Our vision? An industry that works in harmony with nature.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Our most valuable asset? People. Every individual matters to us, regardless of their background or skills. We strive to build strong relationships with our customers, partners, and employees. Our social responsibility does not end at our company premises - it extends beyond. We are committed to ensuring fair and good working conditions throughout the entire value chain.
Sustainability at our company site
Our unique charging park
The centerpiece of our sustainable mobility strategy is our charging park, consisting entirely of electric vehicles and equipped with state-of-the-art technology.
Thanks to photovoltaic roofs above the charging stations, we can use the clean energy generated on-site to charge our vehicles directly. Currently, we operate eight modern AC charging stations with a charging capacity of 11 kW each, as well as a powerful 50 kW DC fast-charging station, ensuring that our vehicles are always ready for use. In the near future, we plan to further expand our charging infrastructure to provide even more charging options.
Wildflower meadow
Our wildflower meadow is more than just a colorful highlight on our premises - it is our living contribution to nature conservation right at our doorstep.
Every square meter creates valuable habitat for bees, butterflies, and many other insects that often lack food and shelter in modern landscapes. A diverse mix of native flowers and herbs blooms from spring through autumn, providing a continuous food source. This creates a small ecosystem that is not only visually appealing but also actively contributes to biodiversity in our region.
Photovoltaic System
Since 2019, we have generated 1.3 million kilowatt-hours of electricity from renewable energy sources, avoiding more than 1,000 tons of CO₂ emissions. In 2023 alone, our photovoltaic systems produced over 330,000 kWh of clean green energy.
This enabled us to generate around one-third of our electricity demand in-house, corresponding to a self-sufficiency rate of approximately 45%.
In summer 2024, we expanded our PV system to a total capacity of 499 kWp, further increasing our level of energy independence. This brings us one step closer to our goal of climate-neutral production.
Code of Conduct
Our Code of Conduct forms the foundation of our actions and defines the principles that guide us across all business areas.
It commits us to resource-efficient and environmentally conscious business practices, promotes fair working conditions and respectful interaction with employees and partners, and ensures that we uphold the highest ethical standards in our daily work.
Furthermore, it guarantees that we act transparently, responsibly, and in full compliance with legal requirements at all times.
Sustainability in production and materials
ViwateQ® surface treatment
With ViwateQ® finishing, we use an innovative process for treating our stainless steel surfaces. It ensures optimal smoothness, reducing the adhesion of dirt particles and improving cleanability — without the use of corrosive chemicals.
This minimizes environmental impact while achieving outstanding surface quality. The process is sustainable not only for us but also for our customers.
Durability & spare parts supply
For us, sustainability means not only environmentally friendly materials and processes, but also durable products. Our machines are designed to operate reliably for decades. Proof of this: even the very first machine we ever produced is still in use - and we can still supply spare parts for it today.
Thanks to our excellent spare parts availability, machines do not need to be replaced unnecessarily. This conserves resources and reduces costs. Our goal is to maximize the service life of our products.
With our comprehensive spare parts service, we ensure that your machine remains operational at all times.
