STÜWE has continuously developed over the decades, increasing the dimensions of our products in line with the increased performance requirements. The current structure of our production processes and procedures primarily reflects historical developments rather than current manufacturing requirements.
In order to optimise STÜWE for current and future requirements, the company is currently undergoing a comprehensive analysis by an external team of experts. The aim of this measure is to achieve greater material efficiency through targeted process optimisation. This project is being supported by funds from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
