They are mainly joiners, carpenters and wood carvers, but also mechanics, clerks and engineers. All of them contribute to the success of the company with their high level of responsibility. At SIK-Holz®, all departments exist under one umbrella – from construction design to production of playground equipment to installation on site. It’s possible to follow the development of a product from tree trunk to finished playground equipment through the individual production areas. Each of our products is unique. Irregularities in growth, grain, tree rings, branches and roots give our playground equipment and sculptures their individual character and make them special. The natural form and structure of the wood are maintained and have a crucial influence on the impression of our products. By participating in societal networks we assume responsibility, especially for children and their right to free play. On the regional level, we actively participate in a company-school-cooperation. Through this direct exchange, we are able to better understand school children’s needs and provide them an insight into the world of work. After successful completion of a company-wide assessment, SIK-Holz® has been awarded a federal seal of approval for environmentally responsible crafts in the year 2010. This seal specifies a functioning environmental management system which verifies the environmental sustainability of all operational processes on a regular basis. In addition, we use climate friendly power from the Electric Power Company Schönau, generated from renewable energy and combined heat and power, with harmful CO2 emissions being 90% lower than the German average. This is our contribution to the necessary transition to clean energy.
