Sustainability has always been a claim of our company. Thus, our products are based on a material basis of 100 % recycled steel scrap – and this since 1953

The protection of our environment is an integral part of all activities at Fritz Winter. We continuously invest in the development of innovative, sustainable and safe products and processes that are optimized for a low energy and raw material consumption, saving of resources and minimal emissions. For example, we use the waste heat from our processes to heat buildings and water.

Fritz Winter is proud of an interdisciplinary environmental department that promotes in-house solutions, for example special filter techniques, and works out applications to authorities. A certified environmental management (DIN EN ISO 14001:2015) as well as a certified energy management system (DIN EN ISO 50001:2018-12) are natural for us.

By means of the systematic improvement of our environmental performance we are winning valuable freedom in order to further develop our company.
