A house made of wood

The office and warehouse are built entirely in timber frame construction. CO2 is bound in the renewable raw material wood - this reduces our CO2 balance sustainably and ensures a pleasant indoor climate in which it is easy to work.

Green energy

Energy-saving technology has been installed in the building, which is powered by 100% green electricity from Germany. Nevertheless, we also pay attention to the economical use of energy.

Packaging recycling

We accept used boxes from the neighborhood and send them on their journey a second time. By reusing them, not only paper but also water and energy are saved. We are registered with RePacket and reuse.me.

Green roof

Plants grow on our roof that not only bind CO2, but also absorb fine dust from the air, store rainwater and provide shelter and breeding grounds for birds and insects. They insulate so well that we don't need air conditioning and save on heating costs.

Mobility

Cycling to work is part of our daily routine, which is why we have covered parking spaces, a shower in the basement and a company bike to borrow. If you still want to come by bus, we subsidize the ticket for local transport.

Waste separation

We of course separate paper, recyclable materials, batteries, scrap metal, glass, ... and feed them into a recycling loop. Organic waste is recycled into compost in a worm bin.

Geothermal heating

A geothermal heat pump in the basement not only reliably generates environmentally friendly heat for heating and water, it also makes us less dependent on fossil fuels.


Regional suppliers

Many of our suppliers come from Germany and Europe. We work with many small and medium-sized companies with whom we have been cooperating closely for many years.

Award-winning!

We are family-friendly and train our junior staff ourselves in a dual system and with high quality.
