Production & Technology
Our production
In production, we have a focus on the environment: the sugar factory does not require any external water for production but solely uses water from the sugar beet. In terms of primary energy consumption, it has been one of the most economical in Europe. We are currently investing in a complete switch to renewable energies. A biogas plant for the utilization of beet pulp is also being planned.

This is backed up by an innovative field of work, interesting tasks, creative freedom, payment in accordance with the collective wage agreement, a 37-hour week and social benefits such as a retirement provision.
