What does Lessmann mean by sustainability?
We understand ecological responsibility to mean operational environmental protection and a contribution to climate protection. The aim was therefore to have the company certified according to ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management) in order to clearly define and pursue reduction targets for emissions and raw material consumption, among other things. Lessmann has been certified according to this standard since May 2022 and thus records consumption in order to make future reduction targets measurable. We have also recently become part of the “Environment + Climate Pact Bavaria”. By participating, we are committed to taking environmental protection measures that go far beyond the legal requirements. We have been using several photovoltaic systems to generate electricity on all roof areas of our company since 2003. Through constant expansion, we now achieve a total output of 588 kWp. With an annual consumption of around 1,200 kWh, we generate almost 50% of our electricity ourselves. We are even better when it comes to heating: it is fueled 100% by leftovers from the production of our wooden handles.

First-class is our standard
We focus on products of the highest quality and strive for excellence in service and advice to make your work as easy as possible.
The efficient and quality-oriented manufacture of our brushes requires use of the latest machinery and production facilities, which are capable of meeting the highest product requirements. We have our own mechanical engineering department and invest in the latest generation of the best machine technology. We are also proud of our in-house research and development and design departments, which guarantee and continuously improve on the consistently high quality of our brushes.
Our modern technical facilities include powerful fully automated production machines and a sophisticated test centre for quality and safety testing. Our vertical integration is unique: We have our own wire crimping and wire cutting facilities. We use tools designed by us to manufacture sheet metal parts and the wooden bodies of our brushes. With over 12,000 storage spaces and optimal logistics solutions, our warehouse supports rapid production flows and short delivery times.
Fair play
We’re a real team and all pull together. This kind of collaboration only works when accompanied by mutual appreciation, honesty and recognition. In other words, when we treat each other with respect. We value open communication, which is the basis of fair co-operation.
And we put this kind of fairness into practice not only on our team, towards colleagues and supervisors. We extend the same appreciation to all our partners, including customers, suppliers, job applicants, and any others interested in our company and our products. This approach is the only way we can achieve the best together.
That’s why fairness is one of the greatest strengths of our family-run company.
True to our word.
All our colleagues and business partners can fully rely on us. We do what we promise, and promise only what we can do.
Reliability for us means manufacturing both standard products at fair market prices and custom-made items for industrial customers – while maintaining the same premium quality and fast availability.
It also means being prepared for what is to come. Our customers can trust us to deliver reliably. Our employees have secure jobs in our company.
We honour our agreements in every respect, earning the trust that is so important for our work.
Social responsibility
The focus here is on measures, such as occupational health management, to promote the long-term health of our staff. Free fruit and health classes, our bicycle leasing programme, and ergonomic workstations are all part of our standard offering. Internal and external training courses in a wide range of areas give our employees opportunities for personal development.
Economy
Our primary economic goal is to guarantee the long-term economic success of the company. We want our company to retain its independence from customers, suppliers and others, and have sufficient financial strength for investment and growth.
Ecology
We work every day to promote corporate environmental and climate protection. Electric power from our own photovoltaic systems or CO2-neutral heating systems have long been established, as have countless other components for environmental protection. We have been certified to ISO 14 001 in environmental management since 2022. This demonstrates our commitment as a company to clearly identifying, tracking and reducing emissions and raw material consumption.
Independent, medium-sized, autonomous
As an independent, owner-managed company, we have a great deal of freedom in many decisions we take. And we can maintain these freedoms, which are part of our success.
To name just a few: We produce many primary materials in-house, have a wide range of products, a large number of customers and supply many sectors, making us independent of individual branches of industry and their economic fluctuations. We constantly develop new products, search for new customers and tap into new markets. Our in-house expertise is spread across several levels, meaning that many employees are aware of many of the details.
Our only constant is change. Change is what motivates us and gives us the independence that we aim to uphold into the future.
Because to us, independence means safeguarding our company’s continued success for future generations.
