SCHMELZMETALL is very much concerned about the health of their staff. We support our personnel actively concerning their health with the efficient and modern concept of HEALTH FOR ALL®. As a caring employer, we finance at 100 % this health concept as a supplement to the statutory health insurance. Our staff benefits immediately from better medical screening and treatment on private patient level. For this innovative investment for the benefit of our staff, we have been awarded the health seal.

We have always been concerned about protecting our staff. Therefore, we have conducted a health monitoring long time before ROHS and REACH. Today, our data – among others in connection with BEST - contribute to improve the security in handling beryllium containing alloys.

Since our establishment, we have been concerned about environment. We are committed to our share of responsibility for the protection of human health, nature and resources.

SCHMELZMETALL alloys are melted and cast in vacuo. This process preserves environment and resources.
