Corporate policy
Our corporate policy is based on the notion of sustainability, taking into consideration economic, environmental and social aspects.
We see sustainability and economy as an investment in innovative technologies tailored to the market and consistently monitor the profitable orientation of our company. A broadly based system of quality management is something we are committed to voluntarily.
We guarantee reliability for our customers thanks to a broadly based production and assembly network. We also see sustainability and ecology as a contribution towards improving the environmental balance.
Our production uses green power from a regional biogas plant. We use PEFC-certified wood and pay close attention to occupational safety.
For us, sustainability and sociology means strengthening the principle of cooperation within the team. We encourage our employees to undergo further training and we are careful to adhere to our self-imposed code of ethics. Inclusion is something we practise on a daily basis.
