Manager Partner Dipl. Wirt.-Ing. (FH) Andreas Hartl

Our greatest concerns are to fully satisfy our customers in all areas of cooperation and the respectful use of natural resources.

Our friendly, helpful and well-trained staff is essential for the achievement of this goal.

DUROtherm has always been an owner-operated company. This results in vertical structures of responsibility and decision, which are fertile grounds for high levels of performance and customer orientation. Our cooperative relationship with customers, suppliers and employees inspires mutual confidence and is the basis of a successful and lasting cooperation.

Highest quality standards combined with the spirit of partnership and fairness are success factors, which make DUROtherm a powerful partner – today and in the future.

Environmental Management

Protection of the Environment

The DUROtherm environmental team

DUROtherm feels deeply committed to the efficient application and use of resources and our activities are based on respectful dealing with people and nature. Thanks to consequent increases in environmental performance, DUROtherm successfully took part in the ECOfit-programme of the environmental ministry of Baden-Württemberg in 2015/2016. The environmental management system according to ISO 14001 and EMAS, which was introduced in 2017, makes DUROtherm an even more environmentally friendly and sustainable company today and in the future.

Very often DUROtherm products bring about a better environment: so we succeed more and more often in replacing environmentally unfriendly moulded parts in the market by environmentally friendly thermoformed parts. DUROtherm reusable packaging helps to reduce pollutant emissions caused by transport and avoids waste.
