Sustainability in three
dimensions


Environment

  • CO₂ balance across all installed systems
    from 264,000 t (2019) to under 181,000 t⁴
  • Machines with a 20+ year lifespan instead of disposable technology
  • Fiber laser machines with only ⅓ the energy requirement of classic CO₂ lasers⁵

Social

  • Flat hierarchies with active employee participation
  • Flexible working hours and time accounts
  • In-house defibrillators for everyone’s safety

Governance

  • LkSG-compliant supply chain, 97.5% from Germany⁶
  • Zero-tolerance policy on corruption and bribery
  • Annual external audits by DQS MED GmbH

⁴ Based on all DISCHER systems installed worldwide, base year 2019. For methodology, see Sustainability Report.
⁵ Bystronic, “Fiber Laser vs. CO2 Laser” (bystronic.com) – comparison using a 6 kW system: approx. 22 kW energy requirement for fiber laser compared to approx. 65 kW for the CO2 system, i.e., around one third.

MODERNIZATION as a sustainability lever

Our modernization.
Your advantage.


Instead of replacing perfectly functional systems, we bring them up to the latest state of the art. Controls, electronics, and flushing technology are renewed down to the last detail. This saves resources, reduces emissions, and extends the service life by decades without compromising on hygiene or efficiency.

SOCIAL COMMITMENT

Responsibility that connects.


As a family-owned company, we are aware that responsibility does not end at the factory gate. We train our own specialists, have been committed to our hometown of Haan for almost two decades, and support the “Haaner Sommer” as a family with personal dedication, from sand maintenance to dressing up as a storyteller.

44 employees at the Haan location
