ABC overview

Our daily efforts exemplify how
efficiency and expertise can be dovetailed
perfectly with a socially responsible approach!
Our team has striven single-mindedly for over 40 years to make our customers more successful. During this time, we have emerged as one of the most innovative and leading contract manufacturers in Austria - an achievement made possible thanks to the expertise of our disabled and non-disabled employees, respectful human relations and remaining customer-focused in all we do.
The environment is just as important to us - which is why we produce with the most resource-efficient technologies. Outsourcing selected production processes in a targeted manner paves the way for our customers to focus on their own core skills and reduce their costs and risk into the bargain.
We think we’re on the right track with this mission - as amply evidenced by the numerous prizes and other honours received to date. They also spur us on to even greater efforts; constantly going all-out to give our customers something even better. We view Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a quest to take up the mantle of social responsibility within society on behalf of our owners and harness it while engaging in our daily work.
