Our values

The stable quality of our products is one of the foundations of our successful business activities. For us, quality means meeting our customers' requirements in the best possible way. This requires the precise coordination of our delivery promises with the requirements of our customers as well as consistent fulfillment of these quality standards thus established.

In our company, environmental protection and the established occupational safety measures, which our customers also expect, are an important part of the company policy.

We are aware that our activities affect the environment. Therefore, it is our duty to reduce the impact on the environment to the possible minimum within the scope of economic and technical possibilities and by means of well thought-out processes. Our responsibility in dealing with the environment and resources requires the identification and evaluation of our significant environmental aspects as well as the fulfillment of defined environmental goals, environmental programs and their verification on the basis of measurable characteristics.

Based on our shared responsibility towards people and the environment, we have set ourselves the goal of reconciling profitable production and environmental precaution by improving environmental performance and avoiding or reducing environmental pollution wherever this is technically and organizationally possible and economically viable. In doing so, it is a matter of course for us to comply with and, where possible, exceed legal regulations, other environmental interests and the environmental protection requirements we set ourselves.

Every employee is integrated into our management system and has the right and duty to work towards eliminating circumstances that prevent the manufacture of products of impeccable quality and circumstances that cause unnecessary pollution of the environment. Likewise, the social aspect is to be taken into account through responsible procurement.
