MOSCA among the top 5 in the mechanical engineering category in "Germany's Best - Sustainability" by Focus Money

Award takes into account ecological, economic and social sustainability

MOSCA is once again named as one of the most sustainable companies with the "Germany's Best - Sustainability" award by Focus Money. This year, the end-of-line specialist is among the top 5 in the category of mechanical and plant engineering companies. The award recognises comprehensive sustainability efforts by German companies.
"In mechanical engineering, there are many ways to address sustainability. We want to exhaust all possibilities to produce in an environmentally friendly and resource-saving way," says Simone Mosca, Managing Director of MOSCA. "But for us, sustainability also means long-term thinking and commitment in all areas." In Focus Money's "Germany's Best - Sustainability" award, MOSCA finds itself in a top position among mechanical engineering companies for the second year in a row. Simone Mosca explains: "We are very pleased to be awarded by Focus Money again this year. It shows that our sustainability efforts are noticed - and spurs us on to make our processes and production even more resource-efficient in the future and to seek new ways with our customers and partners."
The sustainability seal is awarded as part of the study "Germany's Best - Sustainability" by the IMWF (Institute for Management and Economic Research) on behalf of Focus Money and Deutschland Test and gives equal weight to ecological, economic and social sustainability aspects. Around 19,000 companies and brands were compared in the period from March 2021 to February 2022. The top ranking recognises MOSCA's commitment to environmental protection, social responsibility and the company's resource-conserving approach.
Sustainable material cycles
With its end-of-line solutions, MOSCA has been striving for maximum resource conservation for years - starting with strapping as minimal packaging: "Strapping as a packaging solution makes it possible to secure even large and heavy packages with narrow plastic strapping," emphasises Simone Mosca. With recycling and circular economy, MOSCA makes this solution even more sustainable. "Not all plastic is the same: MOSCA's PET strapping is already made from 100 per cent recycled materials; the PP strapping is made from up to 30 per cent recycled material." After use by the customer, the PET strapping can be separated according to type, recycled and returned to the cycle. And not only the raw material, but also the production of the plastic strapping made of PET and PP is "green": an own 2,500 m² solar plant generates renewable energy for the production line in the Muckental plant.
Resource-saving technology
In order to make the work processes of the strapping machines also resource-saving, MOSCA relies on the low-emission and energy-saving ultrasonic technology SoniXs. This seals strap ends without emissions and without heating. Since neither vapours nor odours are produced, the machines are suitable for use in all areas, including the food industry.
"Our efforts for more sustainability do not stop after machine delivery. We also want to empower our customers to act in a resource-friendly way," says Simone Mosca. "This includes ensuring a long lifetime for our strapping machines. That's why we used high-quality materials in production, offer customers a targeted training programme and develop customised maintenance concepts."
Supporting charitable projects in the region
Social, sustainable commitment is also close to MOSCA's heart. For example, the company participated in the Packaging Valley Makeathon in 2021 and invited students, graduates and professionals to join them in Waldbrunn. The goal: to work out innovative, digital ideas together to illustrate the CO2 footprint of packaging processes in networked production. MOSCA has also been involved regionally since 2015 with its annual project competition - and after 2020 also set a clear focus on sustainability in 2022: together with three other companies, MOSCA is offering a total of 25,000 euros for environmental protection projects this year. Simone Mosca emphasises: "Together we will support more than 40 non-profit projects from the Waldbrunn region. In doing so, we want to show that even seemingly small projects can make a big contribution to the environment and our future."
