Sustainable production using solar power
Our photovoltaic system covers a large proportion of our energy requirements. The benefits are clear, both for us and for the environment:
- Immediate consumption of solar power generated by the company’s own PV system (corresponding to approx. 32 per cent of its electricity consumption)
- Increased energy efficiency thanks to our 850 kWp solar panel system on the roof of our company building
- A lasting contribution to CO₂ reduction (approx. 125 tonnes of CO₂ per year) through high coverage of energy requirements powered by solar energy
Vegan printing at drucks.ch
At the customer’s request, we have taken a closer look at the ingredients with regard to substances of animal origin. The result is clear:
- None of the products contain materials of animal origin
- No animal fats or colour pigments of animal origin Raw materials, such as those from scale insects and snails, are used in our production process
- Coated and Laminated papers contain no gelatine or other animal-derived products
PVC and some inks may contain petroleum, which, strictly speaking, is of animal origin. We can rule out the possibility that the petroleum-producing bacteria were killed as a result of human activity.

Investments in environmentally friendly production facilities
Sustainable business practices are an integral part of our identity, which is why we place great importance on environmentally friendly measures in our production processes. The following list outlines some specific measures:
- Chemical-free development of printing plates and recycling
- Reduced-alcohol Printing processes on the XL offset presses
- Built-in ozone filters on all Laser printing units
- Reducing environmental impact through investment in LED systems
Health and safety are the top priority in production
In our production processes, we place great importance on healthy and safe working conditions – almost all of our products (98 per cent) are manufactured in Leobersdorf. We do this to create an optimal working environment:
- Ozone filters and extraction systems for harmful emissions ensure low-pollutant Work
- Investment in printing presses (e.g. water-based HP Latex), which ensure that no hazardous air pollutants are produced
