We actively contribute to a sustainable approach regarding our environment. We focus on four key areas: manufacture, durable materials, low energy consumption and reducing food waste for our customers.
Fighting Food Waste
Globally, nearly one-third of all produced food is wasted—a staggering figure with severe economic, social, and environmental consequences. Food waste not only consumes resources unnecessarily but also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating climate change. For us, combating food waste is an essential part of our corporate mission, which is focused on sustainable development, resource conservation, and improved food safety.
Our dedication to sustainable practices is evident in the development of innovative, efficient, and environmentally friendly food processing machinery. Our products are known for meeting the highest production standards while minimizing energy consumption and especially waste at every stage of food processing. As a member of United Against Waste, we reaffirm our commitment to working with other industry stakeholders to develop solutions that reduce food waste.
Low power consumption
With our vegetable slicers, you can save up to 50% in energy. We are committed to sustainably reducing energy consumption in the kitchen and at processing plants. At 260 watts, our vegetable slicers consume comparatively unbeatable amounts of energy, up to 50% less than comparable machines.
Durable materials
We build and sell machines for generations and optimise their processes for a sustainable approach to our environment, with the use of high-quality and durable materials being an important element. We use forged steel for the production of our blades. For our machines, we rely mostly on stainless steel and glass fibre composite, a plastic enriched with silver ions, which is extremely resistant, durable and antimicrobial.
Local sourcing
With our strong presence in the domestic procurement market, we not only promote Switzerland as a business location, but have also set ourselves the goal of sourcing the majority of the parts we use from within a 50 km radius of our site in Quartino. Wherever possible, we take local businesses into account and therefore reduce CO2 emissions in transport through short transport routes.
