Sustainability and Social Responsibility

Sustainability from the Beginning!

We are firmly convinced that responsible actions and adherence to the highest ethical values are the only way to succeed. Commitment to decency and respectful treatment of our employees, customers, and suppliers are the basis and foundation of our daily efforts for the success of our company. As a typical Swabian family business, these principles have been followed quite naturally since the founding of our company and in the background. This is also an essential part of our corporate philosophy.

Our products promote sustainability

Our metal garden objects are 100% recyclable. Plastic and synthetic parts are hardly found in our products. Only valuable materials with a long life cycle are used.
The popular tree tubs and plant containers contribute to local renaturation and thus directly to climate protection when used on sealed surfaces.
Urban furniture such as benches, seating groups with plant containers, or water features promote social interaction and community in cities and municipalities, supporting sustainable well-being.
