Safety High Standards and a Precise Observance

“Safety is paramount! – this is the motto at each of our production sites. We use high technical standards to protect our production facilities and our environment. To achieve this, we use, amongst others: gas warning systems, temperature and pressure warning systems, flame traps, fire alarm systems and a drainage system that can be uncoupled from the public grid if necessary.

In addition to the purely technical measures, we also think further: we invest continuously in safe and environmentally friendly further developments and regularly train our employees in safety aspects. Consequently, observing all industrial health and safety and fire protection regulations is self-evident for every employee. In addition, all third-party firms that we assign also need to adhere to our high standards and we check their compliance carefully.
