Approximately 20 experts in the field of corporate energy efficiency recently met at Handtmann in Biberach to share their experiences.

The Ulm Chamber of Industry and Commerce regularly stages this dialogue forum on the subject of energy. The discussion session focusses on cross-industry experiences with the introduction and optimisation of corporate energy management systems, the implementation of specific energy saving measures in actual corporate situations, further possible cost reduction potential and current developments in the field of energy legislation.

Ambitious energy efficiency targets

Based on demands from the state and from customers, Handtmann is not the only company that aims to achieve a minimum of a one percent reduction in electricity, gas and water consumption and CO2 emissions every year. The participants from other companies also have similar targets which they must attain. The information and suggestions shared in this group are therefore always extremely useful, and this opinion was once again voiced by all the experts at the conclusion of the latest event at Handtmann.

When presenting the certificates, Factory Manager Alexander Iván and HR Manager Klaus Ehrhart stressed that, in acquiring new knowledge, all those who had participated in the training course had fulfilled an important requirement for becoming good managers, which they would first have to prove on the basis of appropriate performance in everyday working situations. Together with trainer Armin Rohm, they wished the course graduates every success.

The “Heggbach people” have been acting as an extended workbench for years and carry out preparatory work for the assembly of system components at Handtmann. They assemble, for example, the joining elements for the charging air distribution of the 642 Daimler petrol engine, the injectors of the AMG V12 engine or the axial lock of the gallery for the Audi R5.

The Handtmann canteen at the company headquarters in Biberach was extremely full on 2nd December, 2016. Approximately 170 retired employees from the Handtmann Group of Companies accepted the invitation from the corporate management and attended the traditional pre-Christmas retired employees’ event.

Keeping in contact

In addition to coffee and cake and a snack, a report by the company director on the current economic situation and the construction activities of the individual corporate divisions is always a fixed component of this convivial afternoon. Personal talks and enjoying time spent together are the main focal points of the annual event.
