Employees
Our employees are the key to high quality. The targeted selection, induction, training and sensitisation for quality,
environmental protection, energy and occupational safety ensure the necessary qualification and motivation of our employees.
We encourage every employee to actively participate in the continuous improvement of occupational health and safety and
provide the necessary and appropriate tools for participation and consultation. Protection against reprisals, discrimination or
punishment, or the threat of such, is a matter of course for us.
