Numerous industry associations and networks in the green economy and event industry are promoting the "16 Steps Initiative" program in their environment.  The aim is to work together in the event industry to become climate-neutral and more sustainable step by step. The 16 steps will be published together step by step. In this way, the initiators want to reach as many players as possible. The aim is for the event industry to achieve a minimum standard for climate-neutral, sustainable events by 2025. The partners involved agree that the event industry can and must make its contribution to a climate-neutral overall economy that is in line with the German government's Climate Protection Act. The initiators emphasize that it is no longer a question of whether the climate is changing. The focus is on ensuring that the changes remain tolerable over the next few years and that the players in the event industry adapt. The individual steps are based on the Sustainability Rider and the Sustainability Checklist by Stefan Lohmann. The Rider has been reviewed by ISO and EMAS experts and has already been discussed and published several times in national and international trade journals.  We're on board!

For more than 20 years, we have been realizing electromechanical assemblies and components with a focus on customer-specific operating units (HMI). Starting with the housing made of plastic or metal, the display and the keyboard, up to the cable assembly and the printed circuit board. Especially for start-up companies, we offer a range of free services, such as feasibility checks, initial cost estimates, prototyping, advice on material selection and working out options to reduce costs. If desired, we can also take care of the design and preparation of technical drawings. We can score points especially for project volumes with small to medium quantities. This is especially interesting for start-up companies, which need rather smaller quantities at the beginning of the product launch.
