The different strategies of Novopress

Responsible. Sustainable. Future-orientated.

As a leading international power tool manufacturer with deep regional roots, we combine traditional craftsmanship with sustainable industrial expertise. For over 50 years, we have stood for durable, repairable pressing tools - developed for a resource-conserving and climate-friendly future.

What we do lasts - that's why we think sustainably right from the start.

Our daily actions are guided by clear values: ecological responsibility, social justice and economic stability.

Our tools are designed to remain operational for decades and can be repaired in a resource-saving manner if necessary. This saves energy, reduces CO₂ emissions and conserves materials. This has been the case for over 50 years. Our service department sometimes repairs appliances that are several decades old.

We rely on transparent, globally networked supply chains with certified partners. Supplier audits and our Code of Ethics ensure high social and ecological standards.

We pay attention to the conformity of our devices and tools. We enter into close partnerships with our customers in order to fulfil international guidelines.

As an employer, we promote fair working conditions, diversity and equal opportunities. Several generations work for us under one roof - a sign of genuine corporate culture.

Our company has been ISO 9001 certified since 2006 and we are preparing ISO 14001 certification and reports in accordance with the European CSRD directive .

Through targeted efficiency measures and investments in sustainable production processes, we are constantly reducing our ecological footprint - along the entire value chain.

Our focus on sustainability:

• Living corporate culture - responsible, sustainable, intergenerational
• Climate protection & energy efficiency - for lower-emission industrial production
• Fair working conditions & equal opportunities - locally and globally

Our sustainability approach is based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. For us, sustainability is a process of continuous improvement.

Voluntary commitment for and with everyone:

We go beyond standards and develop them with our employees. Since 2019, we have established our Code of Ethics as a binding commitment within the company. This describes our values and our compliance management.

Since 2017, our solar system on the factory building has been supplying electricity for the production of our appliances. We are continuing to expand the production of renewable electricity on the factory building, which will be completed in 2025. We are providing our own electric charging stations for our fleet and employees' vehicles.

As a voluntary project, we joined the Biodiversity Alliance of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce for the Middle Lower Rhine in 2025. We want to promote biodiversity at our site. Because we know that climate and biodiversity protection belong together.

Our mobility concept is not only good for our_carbon footprint, but also promotes cohesion and health. When we take part in regional city cycling or offer job bikes and financial support for local public transport. For cyclists, there are parking spaces to keep bikes safe and dry. Thanks to these facilities, around 20 to 30 per cent of employees currently make use of them.
