Hydro REDUXA label proves: Bosse stands for sustainability
Open office landscapes and agile working are all the rage. They are dynamic, promote communication between colleagues and even increase productivity, it is said. But where at first walls were eagerly torn down, it is now clear that it is not possible to work entirely without them.
Separate rooms are needed for meetings, to concentrate or to conduct a confidential telephone conversation. Thus, room-in-room solutions were created - often glass cubes in the middle of such an office landscape.
Leading the way in this area is a German company: Bosse from Höxter in North Rhine-Westphalia, on the border with Lower Saxony. And Hydro is now Bosse’s sole supplier of aluminum profiles - produced and finished in Uphusen and Rackwitz.
Partner at eye level
Managing Director André Heuer is well aware that they could get better prices from foreign competitors. There are other reasons why Bosse has trusted Hydro for many years. "The trust simply exists and the communication is good. We see ourselves as partners at eye level. The quality is right, and if there are bottlenecks or problems, we call the key account manager at Hydro, Bilel Bourkhis, and a solution is found without much discussion. The contacts are good. We also notice this with our design engineers. They know the product developers at Hydro personally and regularly take part in training courses - for example the Profile Academy."
100 percent made in Germany
But there is more. Bosse advertises the label 'Made in Germany'. "This still has the effect of a quality label for our international customers," says André Heuer. That's why Bosse relies 100 percent on German suppliers, most of whom even produce within a radius of 200 km.
100 percent Hydro REDUXA
This not only ensures short delivery times and flexibility. The sustainability aspect also plays a role. Short distances also mean less CO2 emissions. And the Northern German company wants to continue along this path - out of conviction, but also because customers demand it. That is why Bosse wants to exclusively process profiles made of Hydro REDUXA billets in the future and thus further reduce its CO2 footprint. Incidentally, Bosse will then not only advertise with the black-red-gold quality label, but also use the Hydro REDUXA logo to highlight the sustainability of its products.
Bosse's competitively superior cubes are sold worldwide. The core market is Europe, but sales are also growing steadily in the USA, South Africa and Asia. Customers include well-known companies such as BMW, Telekom, MAN, Siemens, Unilever, Continental, etc.
