🌍 30 Years of EMAS & ISO 14001 at OBE

For three decades, OBE has stood for systematic and effective environmental and energy management – delivering continuous, measurable improvements across all areas of the company.

Some key milestones:
🔧 Safer and cleaner production processes
Replacing perchloroethylene with modified alcohol in parts cleaning significantly reduced environmental and health risks.

♻️ Resource efficiency in surface technology
Optimized rinsing and recovery systems in electroplating reduce sludge generation and material losses.

🌡️ Intelligent energy use & heat recovery
Waste heat from production is reused via heat pumps and cooling systems, lowering energy demand and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

💧 Integrated water and wastewater management
Closed-loop systems and in-house wastewater treatment ensure responsible handling of process water.

🌱 Continuous improvement through EMAS
With verified environmental statements and clear KPIs, OBE ensures transparency and measurable progress.

🤝 Approved environmental verifiers for over three decades

This journey has been supported for 30 years by accredited environmental verifiers, most recently Müller-BBM Cert, who independently assess OBE’s environmental and energy management, drive improvements, and build trust in its reporting.

The result after 30 years:
✔ Reduced emissions and environmental impact
✔ Increased resource and energy efficiency
✔ Improved occupational safety
✔ Strong credibility through transparent reporting

At OBE, EMAS and ISO 14001 are not just certifications on paper—they are an integral part of daily operations and the company’s drive for innovation in sustainable production.

Here’s to 30 years of lived responsibility—and many more to come.
