Environmental Protection

Strong quality awareness is intrinsic to every part of the company and this is reflected in an even stronger sense of environmental responsibility. Balancing economy with ecology in a meaningful way is one of the primary tasks within KMD Group. Responsible use of resources such as raw materials and energy as well as workplaces is an integral part of our corporate strategy.

KMD has a long history of processing copper to make and distribute copper and copper-alloy products. The conversion processes - which include rolling, annealing and surface treatment, coating and other mechanical processes - from raw material right through to finished product are energy-intensive and inevitably consume resources.

By implementing and maintaining our management systems according to DIN EN ISO 1004, DIN EN  ISO 50001 and BS OHSAS 18001, we strive for continuous improvement of the core content of all three of these systems. The management pledge to provide any resources that this requires.

Responsible use of natural resources and the core topic of occupational health and safety are taken into particular account in all essential processes and activities of our company.

When designing the processes and operating our technical equipment, we endeavor to reduce our materials and energy usage. We seek long-term improvement in the environment and energy-related performance of our business activities and to guarantee the safety of our employees by optimizing our use of resources, by using state-of-the-art production technology and by applying internal recycling measures. Besides this, we take every opportunity to avoid, reduce or recycle all types of waste.
