Sustainability and Economic Activity
For the Fietz Group, economic sustainability is a fundamental prerequisite for securing long-term economic success and enhancing competitiveness – in other words, it requires sound business management.
However, the focus of a sustainable company should not be on maximizing profit, but rather on long-term survival.
However, the focus of a sustainable company should not be on maximizing profit, but rather on long-term survival.
Nevertheless, sustainable companies must generate sufficient profits to invest in, for example, more environmentally friendly facilities or modern machinery, thereby consuming as few resources as possible compared to what nature can generate in the same period. For this reason, the Fietz Group has invested in several forward-looking projects.

Company History – Highest Standards from the Start
The company was founded in 1974 by Manfred Fietz in a classic garage setup. In 1977, the business moved into its first building, and in 1985, it relocated to its current site in the Burscheid industrial park. Since its founding, the family-owned company has successively expanded its production facilities. In parallel with this physical expansion, the company continuously invests in modern equipment and in the research and development of new products and processes.
