During the Covid 19 pandemic, it became apparent that high-tech industries are far more resilient in crises than their low-tech counterparts. We, too, were able to weather the crisis well thanks to our development competence and innovative strength. In addition, we are securing our future through medium- and long-term corporate planning based on risk-conscious action and value-added activities.
As a technology-oriented company, we know that education and research are the engines of innovation. That is why we place a special focus on in-company training and promote the further education of our employees at all levels.
Today, anyone who expects technologically advanced façades, certified structural-physical elements for building safety and the highest, safety-related construction components for nuclear power plants relies on our highly qualified team of skilled workers, master craftsmen, technicians and engineers.
We have been consistently driving innovations forward with all our energy for decades. Permanent optimisation processes and the continuous development of new products, systems and production processes ensure our high quality standards. More than 60 patents and a multitude of certifications are the result of this high development competence.
Sommer meets the highest quality assurance standards for products and services, especially when they are intended for critical infrastructure, and acts proactively to prevent the intrusion of counterfeit, fraudulent or suspect items (CFSI) into safety-critical equipment, components, systems and structures. Therefore Sommer routinely cooperates with governmental and international organisations, industry partners (including customers, subcontractors and suppliers), industry and trade associations (nuclear and industrial) and academia to stay abreast of CFSI issues.
