Sustainability at Otopront

Since our foundation in 1949, sustainability has been a central component of our corporate philosophy. As a family-run company, Happersberger Otopront has always stood for durable products, innovative technologies and responsible business practices.

Our holistic sustainability concept is based on three pillars - environmental, social and economic - which are not only interconnected but also mutually reinforcing.
