WHAT'S NEW?
Working together toward climate neutrality
DELIVERIES FROM OUR PARTNER SÜDZUCKER NOW ALSO ELECTRIC. Having already successfully electrified our own factory transport, we are now opening a new chapter. In future, deliveries from our partner Südzucker will also be made using electric trucks. The common project contributes directly to our ambitious climate target of reducing emissions by 42% by 2030.
