Environment and Safety

The companies of the Hoftex Group have been practicing systematic energy management for years. Thanks to the introduction of a certified energy-management system, we can continuously monitor all processes for energy efficiency, identifying and eliminating any weak points, thereby becoming increasingly energy efficient and thus increasingly energy-saving.  We set standards at all of our German locations with audits under the demanding ISO 50001 standard.

Through continuous auditing of our processes and products, we ensure our customers constantly improved quality, reliability and future-driven development. We are certified according to DIN ISO 9001, DIN

We continuously compile consumption figures for all media and raw materials and evaluate these figures with a view to possible improvements. We set targets for ourselves in order to achieve continuous improvement in our environmental and energy footprint.

We continuously invest in new technologies with which we can manufacture our products more efficiently and with fewer resources.   We are also constantly updating our plant technology with an eye to reducing energy consumption. We make use of the latest technologies, such as e.g. software-supported LED lighting systems, managed compressed-air generation and heat recovery systems.

Our continuous product optimisation and new development is geared towards the use of environmentally friendly input materials. At Tenowo, for instance, we have been using recycled and regeneratively produced fibres for years. Worldwide, Tenowo declines to use flame retardants containing halogens or antimony.

Our fleet is constantly renewed through consistent fleet management. For example, we have added an electric car to our fleet, as fuel consumption and CO² emissions are key decision-making criteria for us.
