Maintaining a sensitive environmental consciousness is part of the moral self-image of Friedr. Lohmann GmbH in addition to our endeavour to maintain and improve the high quality of our steel-products. We also have an increasingly high commitment towards sustainable development through the technologies we employ. The necessary measures required for the certification of the environment management system EN ISO 14001 have been carried out successfully. This has ensured that Friedr. Lohmann GmbH has introduced and maintains an environmental management programme for the realisation of its environmentally orientated goals. Due to the changeover in parts of the production plants, from coal- and gas furnaces to the electric-, natural gas- and protective gas applied furnace-installations with progressive burner- and regulating techniques as well as automatic control which are used nowadays, the emission thresholds required by law are not only met but are bettered.
It is the company’s aim to carefully design and continually improve its environment protection and health and safety programmes with specific measures. The “operational employee suggestions for improvement scheme” organised in 2002 also serves towards this propose.

Rainwater is valuable!
Nowadays, to improve the wastewater situation, Friedr. Lohmann GmbH has extensive ducts with a rain storage reservoir and two rain clarification tanks at their disposal. Though the advantageous location of the company in free surroundings, the rainwater is fed back to the environment where it can continue its natural cycle.
