Sustainability – what is it?
“Sustainable”, “sustainable management & growth”, “sustainability” …
These terms are more relevant today than ever before and are becoming increasingly important – especially as our resources on this planet are limited and in some cases actually finite.
The term “sustainability” originally comes from forestry:
“Sustainability in forestry refers to the forestry practice of sustainability, i.e. a principle of action for the use of resources that focuses on preserving the essential characteristics, stability and natural regenerative capacity of the forest.”

Gustav Obermeyer – our definition of sustainability
And our filling machines? Our
Tube filling machines and
Bottle filling machines?
It’s hard to imagine what could be more sustainable today: Some of our machines, such as the TUFÜMA 50 pictured above, have been running since the 1960s – year after year, with very little maintenance.
Robust. Durable. Flexible.
If you evaluate our machines according to the net present value principle over their entire service life, you will see:
They are not only economically superior, but also ecologically sensible – and therefore a real example of sustainability “Made in Germany” in practice.
