Sustainability

Mother nature

Our roots are in the Black Forest, one of Germanys most beautiful landscapes. We have been located in this area since tune was founded 30 years ago. The close proximity to this beautiful landscape has undoubtedly influenced the products we are known for today.

Solar power system

A large part of the roof area at our site in Buggingen is equipped with photovoltaic modules. The system reaches a maximum output of 21 kW and—depending on production levels and weather conditions—covers around half of our electricity demand.

On working days, most of the generated electricity is used directly on site. On weekends, excess energy is fed into the local grid.

Production waste

During milling and turning a lot of metal chips are produced. These chips are a valuable resource and can be recycled to serve as raw material again.

To make recycling easier the chips are sorted by variety and reintroduced to the material cycle by a local business.

The amount of non-recyclable waste produced in this step of manufacturing is very low.

Product packaging

Our product packaging has been simple and minimalistic for years. In the past we have been using pressure seal bags made from plastic which can be used to store all types of goods after their life as packaging.

We are currently in the process of reimagening our product packaging to eliminate the use of plastics entirely. The plastic pressure seal bags are going to be replaced by equivalent solutions made from paper.

Additionally, we are gradually switching to digital user manuals. A QR code on the packaging leads directly to the latest online version of the documentation. This eliminates the need to print manuals for every product and ensures that all information remains up to date.

Shipping packaging

If you have already received a package from us you might have noticed the box was not branded and used. We try to reuse boxes we received products in for the shipments we send out. This way we don't need to use new boxes and reduce cardboard waste.

We encourage our customers to follow our example and reuse the boxes they receive from us to reduce the environmental impact.

Products

Our products are designed for long-term use. Many components can be repaired or replaced individually, allowing entire product groups to remain in service for many years. Durability is a central aspect of our development approach.

A key factor is the modular design of many of our aluminum and carbon components. Thanks to clearly defined spare parts and a continuous supply of replacement components, repairs can often be carried out even after long periods of use.

To further support this long service life, we offer a ten-year warranty on our products. This reflects our confidence in the quality and robustness of our constructions and provides users with long-term assurance.
