Sustainable and value-oriented
action
Act responsibly. Think long-term.
As an innovative technology company, long-term corporate development plays a crucial role for us. We want to build a sustainable foundation for our family-owned business, because we view sustainability as a key factor for success in the future and for the next generation.
This applies both to environmental issues—which are primarily associated with the concept of sustainability—and to aspects of our economic activities, as well as our social responsibility toward our employees and society.
Ecological sustainability
60% of the energy we need is generated by us
Combined heat and power plant
Durch unser eigenes BHKW erzeugen wir einen Teil unseres Stroms über einen Biogasgenerator, dessen Abwärme über eine Kraft-Wärme-Kälte-Kopplung zum Temperieren der Fertigungshallen genutzt wird. In Summe erzeugt unser BHKW jährlich 850.000 kWh.
Here’s how it works: Gas is burned in an engine. This process generates about 60% heat, which we can convert into cooling (in the summer) or use for heating (in the winter) through a combined heat and power system using an absorption chiller.
The administration building and production halls have a ventilation system with a heat exchanger so that heat is extracted from the exhaust air and fed into the supply air. The waste heat of machines from the individual machine cooling units is fed into the heat distribution system in an efficient heat exchanger and reused for cooling by means of a heat exchanger.
About 35% of the energy generated by the CHP plant is converted into electricity, which is consumed directly on site. It is not fed into the grid. The remaining 5% are losses due to friction, unusable waste heat from attachment units, etc.
By operating the CHP plant, we create constant and pleasant working conditions, as the air is cleaner and the temperature is evenly maintained. These constant working conditions form the basis for our high-precision manufacturing.
Photovoltaics
Our rooftops are equipped with photovoltaic systems. The PV systems generate an average of 470,000 kWh per year. Approximately 290,000 kWh of the electricity generated is used for our own consumption. The remaining energy is fed into the grid. (Figures from 2025.)
Company vehicle pool
Our company electric vehicles are charged via the company’s own e-charging station, which is also available to our customers free of charge.
Refrigerant treatment
A coolant evaporator treats the wastewater generated during metalworking on-site. This allows us to save 70% on disposal costs for the distillate. The distillate is then used for washing vehicles or cleaning the shop floors, thereby reducing our consumption of tap water.
Technical waste
Metal shavings are separated and are sorted by material (steel, stainless steel, aluminium, etc.) for recycling.
Packaging
We use reusable packaging for shipping.
Some of the cardboard boxes or plastic wrap from the receiving department are reused for shipping.
Social sustainability
“People” in focus
We attach great importance to good cooperation. Open and responsible. Our value orientation is firmly anchored in the corporate mission statement. This is because the highest precision and quality can be achieved only with the help of motivated and qualified employees.
Vocational training with future prospects
In order to meet the high technical requirements in the company, we rely on specialists from within our company. We offer eight different vocational jobs for this purpose. Our trainees are absorbed into the company after their training period. We pay special attention to the training of young people with disabilities. In addition, a quarter of our trainees are women, in rather “typical male professions”.
Employee development
We offer all employees equal opportunities for professional and personal development.
SKfit – occupational health management
Ensuring a healthy working environment and secure jobs is our fundamental commitment towards our employees.
In order to deliver top performance in precision, employees need to be healthy and feel good. Promoting health is therefore essential for economic success.
- Health courses and exercise programmes.
- For a healthy diet, we provide our employees with free fruit every day. We offer vegetarian and fitness dishes in our company canteen.
- Our teams take part in various sporting events.
- JobRad: About one-third of our employees take advantage of our JobRad program. In this way, we support individual mobility and encourage physical activity in everyday life.
- Ergonomic and air-conditioned workplaces.
- Comprehensive occupational health and safety measures and occupational medical care.
Short distances and fresh on the table
In our certified “LandGenuss Bayerwald” company canteen, we use fresh and regionally produced food from producers and processors from our home region.
Work-life balance
We enable our employees to balance work and private life at different stages of their lives.
- Flexible working time system for housewives/house-husbands and parents
- Part-time training for parents
- Home office
Our commitment in the region
- Cooperation with regional workshops for people with disabilities
- Donations and sponsorship of various regional clubs and individual athletes
Economic sustainability
Economic activity with a vision
Corporate action is designed for profit. This is how we pay salaries, secure jobs and invest in new technologies and infrastructures. Our focus is not on short-term success, but rather on long-term, sustainable growth in harmony with our customers, our employees and our environment.
