Environmental Responsibility

We are committed to environmental protection. We act responsibly.

The Trodat Group – and therefore Trotec – is setting a good example in the field of climate protection. As early as 1993, at a time when not anyone and everyone was talking about the Kyoto Protocol and the strict Austrian environmental laws had not reached the standard they are at today, the Trodat Group had already started to implement measures to ensure better energy use.

Throughout the entire value-added process, we pay a great deal of attention to the efficient use of energy and the careful handling of raw materials. Our laser technology and the latest filter technology enable us, for example, to offer our customers production systems which protect the environment by avoiding the use of chemicals in the laser engraving, laser cutting or laser marking of materials.

In 2008, we were awarded ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 und ISO 50001
