Target 2050:
We are actively working towards our vision of being CO2-neutral across our entire value chain by 2050. -
Resource efficiency:
We minimize waste through material-saving processes such as wedge rolling and the direct recycling of aluminium residues in the melting process. -
Green energy:
We continuously invest in modern plant technology in order to constantly reduce energy consumption per manufactured component (ISO 50001). -
Responsibility:
For us, sustainability also means social responsibility – fair working conditions and occupational safety at the Cologne site have top priority.
