Responsibility and Sustainability

"Family companies are oriented to the long term and can be successful in the long term only if they operate responsibly, in an environmentally conscious and sustainable manner"

Long-term Success Through Sustainability

"Family companies are oriented to the long term and can be successful in the long term only if they operate responsibly in an environmentally conscious and sustainable manner. Entrepreneurial trading must be beneficial for everyone involved: customers, employees, owners and the company" - Helmut Kostal.

Being Responsible and Trading Responsibly

We know that entrepreneurial trading, the development, manufacture and marketing of our products have their influence on our environment. These influences must be taken into account in everything we do. This means we must "be responsible" and "trade responsibly".

For us, this means giving answers, both in terms of the economic and ecological effects and also the social effects arising from the way we operate.

This applies in all decision-making areas, whether this is working with our customers and employees, the use of resources and cooperation with suppliers and other interested parties: We are convinced that sustainability is achieved only when our activities are fully in tune with the best economic, ecological and social values.

Environmental Awareness

For us, following all legal regulations covering the environmentally friendly use of resources is as natural as informing and training all our people in matters of environmental awareness.

We are convinced that, in the long term, economic success must always be based on what is ecologically sound. In this sense, responsible trading has guided us since our company was founded and does so still as we shape the future.

Global Responsibility

As a family company operating internationally, global responsibility is always close to our hearts. The way we trade is characterized by our company values and the leitmotiv "We shape the future today"
