Responsibility

Corporate responsibility has many dimensions for us.

Social commitment

Since our foundation we have been supporting social initiatives and projects run by our employees, such as the Movember campaign for men's health.

Other initiatives we have repeatedly supported, were also in 2023:

Bündnis Entwicklung Hilft  

Aktion Wasserbüffel 

Help for Strays e.V. 

Environmental awareness

Our environmental management system is certified according to DIN 14001, but it is these figures that make the difference:

  • 80% of our research & development budgets are invested in resource-efficient technologies
  • 1% or 6 million tons of CO2 emissions per year can be saved by our laser sharkskin in the global aviation industry
  • >20% efficiency on perovskite thin-film solar cells is made possible by our TOPAZ scribing systems
  • 90% energy savings in industrial cleaning with our JETLASER systems compared to dry ice or wet chemistry

A Fair Employer

We want to be a fair employer for our currently 185 employees in 3 nations. We train, we educate, we try to offer a balance of family and job. For example through flexible working hours, up to 60 vacation days per year or the possibility to work remotely.

Our award as a "Top Company" from the Kununu rating platform shows that we are on the right track. Since 2022, we have been among the top 5% of employers in Germany rated by employees.

Acting ethically

We work in a highly dynamic market environment with high complexity, technical risks and international competitive pressure. We counter this with a long-term value-based business philosophy: we leave no customer alone, we stand by our commitments and we always remain fair - despite all challenges. Our Code of Conduct provides us with a binding framework for our actions. The rating agency Ecovadis awarded our ESG system, which is still under development, a silver medal and we are among the top 15% of companies there.
