Harting wins Manufacturing Excellence Award
Harting Electric has won the Manufacturing Excellence (MX) Award in the ‘sustainability’ category with its highly effective deployment of sustainable and eco-friendly production processes.
“The issue of sustainable production will remain high on our agenda in future. We regard sustainability as implementing green projects while keeping the figures in the black,” said Torsten Ratzmann, Senior Vice President Production and Logistics at the Harting Technology Group.
The Harting family, which owns the company, focused heavily on the economic, environmental and social aspects of its business activities at an early stage. These key elements of its corporate vision had already been established by 1996. Over the years, the company has received numerous independent certifications verifying its commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR), such as ISO 26000.
The MX Award has honoured best-practice companies in the manufacturing sector since 2005 under the maxim ‘identifying strengths - setting standards’. The objective is to recognise and promote innovative solutions and to make them generally accessible.
