Sustainability

During production

Our fully automated painting processes reduce paint consumption by up to 70% and the gray footprint by 75%.
The Süddeutsche Kunststoffzentrum certifies that we save 75% of resources.

Automated processes: More than 70% of our production processes are inline. This allows us to save up to 50% on resources and raw materials.

Inline PVD metallization: The Cr6 free chrome look offers an environmentally friendly alternative to electroplating.

Inline single or multi-layer robot painting: Paint consumption is reduced by up to 70% and the ecological footprint is reduced by 75%. The Süddeutsche Kunststoffzentrum certifies that we save 75% of resources. We won first place in the "Schwarzer Löwe" business award in the sustainability category for our fully automated inline production of injection-molded and painted components.

Variothermie: Avoid follow-up processes

Nachhaltigkeit

Infrastruktur

Machine pool: by now more than 50% of all injection moulding machines running all-electric (more precise, higher process stability, more energy-efficient)

Automation: By now our robot quota is 40% (German average: 4%) Achieving highest reproducibility and efficiency for a better ecobalance

The use of diverse CO₂-conserving mechanical services means the conservation of resources: Due to geothermal energy and heat recovery we have become 100% independent from fossil fuels.

Sustainability

Packaging and Transportation

The VARIOBOXX® transport container: lightweight reusable packaging made from recycled material.

Providing alternative solutions to the end of the production chain, in order to minimize the carbon footprint to delivery (-5kg CO₂/lorry/100km compared to standard packaging) represents a challenge which we thereby have met.
