Our handrails at Unesco World Heritage site A historically excellent new home for our handrails: Semperit handrails have been installed at Zollverein, an UNESCO World Heritage site. The facilities of shaft XII of the Zollverein colliery in Essen, which are visible today, are the completely preserved facilities of a historic coal mine. The Zollverein colliery was in operation from 1851 to 1986 and was the largest and most modern coal mining facility in the world. Today, as an industrial monument, it is both a symbol of an important economic era and, as an architectural monument, an expression of the formal language of the Bauhaus. The Stiftung Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex in Essen was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2001. Together with our Vulkatech, our German service partner, we installed at approx. 500 meters of our handrails in just four days.

Shaping skilled experts for the future of silicone manufacturing World Youth Skills Day, celebrated annually on July 15th, underscores the critical importance of equipping young people with the skills necessary for employment, decent work, and entrepreneurship. According to the UN, recent estimates suggest that 600 million jobs will need to be created globally over the next 15 years to meet youth employment needs: https://lnkd.in/d26MXaS At Semperit, our Rico apprentice program and academy elevate youth skill development, preparing the next generation of skilled experts in silicone manufacturing. In 1995, the first trainee was given the opportunity to complete an apprenticeship at Rico and since then, 160 apprentices followed the same path. And 40% of past apprentices still work for Rico today.

We completed the second closing of the sale of our medical business early. "This means that Semperit has exited the glove business completely, and we are concentrating 100% on implementing our growth strategy as a leading specialist in elastomer products for industry,” says CEO Karl Haider.

Semperit CEO Karl Haider in an interview with Helmut Kretzl from the Salzburger Nachrichten on the the broad use of our elastomere products and solutions, our strategy and priorities for the next "200 years". On the competitiveness of Europe as industrial centre, he says: Of course we in Europe have not done ourselves any favors in the last five years. But simply investing everything outside Europe abroad is cowardice in the face of the enemy. In Europe, of course, you have to automate and digitize and be lean. Then you can be competitive in Europe with good technology and highly trained, specialized people." #200semperit #experiencefortomorrow #solutionmakers #globalpioneer

We have finished the commissioning of the first phase of our new photovoltaic system at our Wimpassing site in Austria. This initial installation comprises of 2,551 solar modules, with an electrical capacity of 1.008 kWp*. It’s estimated to generate approximately 1,05 million kWh per year —equivalent to about 3.5% of our Wimpassing’s site total electricity consumption in 2023. Notably, this initiative will help us to reduce energy costs and CO2 emissions. Additionally, we’re on track to complete the second expansion stage later this year. *Note: kWp stands for kilowatt peak, which represents the maximum power output of the system under standard conditions #photovoltaic #CO2 #energy #savings #sustainability #sustainablepartner #200semperit #semperitgroup
