Norms and Certificates
European norms help us maintain high standards. DIN EN ISO 9001 regulates our quality management for development, production and sales, DIN EN ISO 50001 our energy management. We monitor our electricity consumption to see where we can save money and avoid CO2 emission. In 2010 we were the first German kitchen manufacturer with both PEFC (PEFC/04-31-1567) and FSC® (FSC-C101628) -certification for ecological, socially acceptable forestry and still have both seals today.
