Plants
Made in uvex
The innovative products and services for the world market are produced in the company's own plants, many of them in Germany and Europe. The entire value-added chain is thus in our own hands - from the product idea and development, through production, to sales. This not only enables the uvex group to act particularly quickly and flexibly, but also to guarantee the high quality standards of its products through its own manufacturing expertise.
In order to reduce its ecological footprint, the uvex group regularly carries out sustainability activities at its production facilities around the world. In the 2022/23 financial year, the following measures were taken at these plants:
