Sustainable development

Sustainability has been taken into account from the beginning of the product design
including the pro-environmental manufacturing process, long life time, operation
reliability and disposing of the IED.
Operational reliability and long life time have been assured with extensive testing
during the design and manufacturing processes. Moreover, long life time is
supported by maintenance and repair services as well as by the availability of spare
parts.
Design and manufacturing have been done under a certified environmental system.
The effectiveness of the environmental system is constantly evaluated by an
external auditing body. We follow environmental rules and regulations
systematically to evaluate their effect on our products and processes.

Disposing of the IED
