Product ecology
Georg Fischer's products are increasingly eco-efficient. This means that products are becoming more efficient while their impact on the environment in the production and utilization phase remains the same or is reduced.
  • GF Automotive is reducing the weight of its cast components by up to 20% via use of thin-walled structures and integrated add-on parts, enabling automakers to build vehicles that are lighter and more economical but also safer and more reliable.

  • Georg Fischer's plastic piping systems are lightweight and easy to transport, corrosion-resistant and durable. They protect drinking water, a valuable resource, as it is piped from its source to individual homes.

  • The machines made by GF AgieCharmilles make it possible to produce extremely high-precision moulds so that thin-walled and hence very lightweight plastic bottles, for example, can be mass-produced economically while using resources efficiently.
