sustainability
Sustainable practices are in our Swabian DNA.
Since the first day of our company, we have acted according to the principle of sustainability, but we have not yet been able to fully fulfill it.
The following are some milestones of our actions.
Since 1997
We heat our production halls with radiant heating systems. These are approximately 25% more efficient than forced-air heating systems and create a pleasant, draft-free working environment.
Since 1999
We use regenerative drives in our milling machines.
Since 2009
We use Vario pressure valves for pressure limitation and more efficient pump utilization in our cooling lubricant systems.
Since 2014
We produce on our approximately 1400m²
large roof area with a 90 kWp photovoltaic system.
We use more than 80% of this in our own production.
Since 2016
Automated nighttime shutdown of all major energy consumers at the end of production – energy savings of up to 80%
Since 2023
Frequency-controlled coolant pumps reduce power consumption by up to 60% compared to standard coolant systems.
With intelligent electricity meters built into the machines, we are able to graphically display electricity consumption at any time.
