With the installation of our new photovoltaic system, we are setting an example for climate protection - and investing around 500,000 euros in a sustainable power supply.
Since July 2025, we have been able to cover around 65-70% of our annual electricity requirements directly from solar energy. This not only significantly reduces our ecological footprint, but also makes us less dependent on conventional energy sources.
This measure is part of a comprehensive sustainability program with which we are fulfilling our responsibility as a production company - for our customers, our employees and an environment worth living in.
In addition to photovoltaics, we rely on natural CO₂ compensation: for every order item delivered, we are now planting a climate-adapted tree or bush in the region - in the Franconian Forest and the Fichtelgebirge. This means: around 3,000 new plants per year, right here on site.
These trees offset around 47.1 tons of CO₂ every year - that is already equivalent to over 8% of our current electricity consumption. After five years, this will create a living climate protection forest with 15,000 trees, which can offset up to 40% of our current electricity requirements in the long term. In combination with our photovoltaic system, this will bring us significantly closer to our goal of almost CO₂-neutral production.
