Quality, environmental protection, RoHS compliance

For Schaltbau, quality and environmental awareness go hand in hand. As a result, we have developed and implemented a seamless quality and environmental management system. This system conserves resources and is well accepted by customers and employees because of its transparency.

Although most Schaltbau products do not fall under the directive, we endeavour to offer a RoHS compliant product range well in advance of the directive becoming effective.
