SUSTAINABILITY

For a secure future.

We are constantly learning how our daily actions can protect the environment and climate. We are in the midst of change, but we still have a long way to go.

STUV

Focus on sustainability.

At STEINBACH & VOLLMANN GmbH (STUV), a conscious approach to our social and ecological environment is a matter of course. We think with the future in mind, both in the production of our products and in our internal processes. Our engineers and designers develop sustainable products that are robust and have a long service life. We produce locally, reduce resources, design processes as efficiently as possible and continuously scrutinise proven processes. For example, we manage to be almost completely self-sufficient in summer. We have set out on our journey, but we are not yet where we want to be.

New photovoltaic system

390 KILOWATT PEAK.

With the help of a 2,000 m² photovoltaic system on the roof of our assembly and stamping departments and the construction of a modern combined heat and power plant, we achieve an almost self-sufficient power supply in summer.

Charging park for electric vehicles

10 charging stations.

Since 2024, 10 charging points for electric vehicles have been available to all STUV employees and external parties. By expanding the charging infrastructure, we are sending a clear signal in favour of sustainability and actively supporting the transition to more environmentally friendly mobility. Our charging points are powered exclusively by electricity from renewable energy sources, which means that we are making a joint contribution to reducing CO₂ emissions.

In addition, STUV has made use of an environmentally friendly substrate - instead of asphalt, we use compacted gravel, which allows water to seep away.

Green transport solutions

Sustainable packaging.

To reduce our ecological footprint, STUV is constantly working to utilise innovative solutions and sustainable materials. That's why we use air cushions made from recycled paper and potato starch to transport our products. This means we use 100% less plastic. We even reuse the air cushions we receive in the incoming goods department for the further dispatch of our products. Sustainability at its best - win-win for everyone!

Less CO²

Retrofitting to LED lights.

In line with the motto "Save energy, win the future", Steinbach & Vollmann will be able to significantly reduce its own electricity costs and maintenance costs by switching from conventional light bulbs and fluorescent tubes to LED lights in 2022. But even more importantly, LEDs help to reduce CO2 emissions, which significantly minimises the environmental impact. STUV is thus taking a further step towards environmental standards and certifications.

Currentless connector

PYLOCX® - energy-free locks.

We have been the global market leader for authorities in critical infrastructures for several years. Now we are on the market with a new generation of security locks. Why not save energy here too - the system runs without electricity, requires no maintenance and is protected against vandalism.

ENERGY-EFFICIENT PRODUCTION

Conversion to new machines.

As part of our commitment to sustainability, STUV is investing more and more in modern and energy-efficient machines. This not only reduces our carbon footprint, but also improves our production processes. The new machines consume less energy, produce less waste and conserve resources.
