Sustainability

No matter what industry you are in, there are opportunities everywhere to use fewer resources and be more careful with them. Sometimes it doesn't take much to make the difference. Often, common sense helps to find a more sustainable solution. In the end, we all win.

Whenever possible, we produce near the place of sale and not necessarily where it is cheapest. We deliberately keep the proportion of Far East goods in our product portfolio very low.
Our own brands such as CLIC, DELTA, REGLA, KPE rewind cable reels are manufactured in Switzerland. Especially with plastic parts, we keep the CO2 footprint to a minimum and thus ensure social and environmental standards.
If products cannot be produced or sourced in Switzerland, we turn to neighbouring countries close to the border in order to keep the distances as short as possible.
Construction chemicals
The construction industry still cannot do without the use of chemical products. However, we pay attention to the reduction of hazards for the health of the users as well as for the environment. With our TILCA PUR foam MDI <0.1 % and TILCA FIX adhesives, we are setting the first milestones for an optimal solution. Our TILCA FIX adhesives comply with the «Minergie-ECO» standard and most EFCO construction chemicals comply with the «GEV Emicode» standard with the EC1-plus label (very low emission). In addition, we offer training for the professional and safe application of our products (e.g. TILCA TIM injection mortar). Furthermore, our dosing systems enable exact quantity determination for economical and cost-effective application.
We take all these aspects into account in our supplier assessments.

To minimise cardboard and film material, we use post boxes and pallet frames, even though the costs and effort involved are higher.
In addition, we do not simply throw away packaging material we receive, but reuse it.

We rely on durable quality production equipment (injection moulding, punching tools) and long product life cycles.

The entire disposal of materials that can no longer be used is strictly regulated with Swiss recycling companies.
