29 29 Sustainability | Production and Technical development In order to foster the sustainable development of the company over time and protect our position as a leading company within the sectors that we are active, EAB works continu- ously on technology and production development. We expand our own expertise, but we are also looking for partners who can offer additional skills and knowledge so that our concept can achieve the highest technical level possible. Our business model also includes constant impro- vements to the efficiency of our design and production chain. This is achieved through proacti- ve efforts during the design stage, a high degree of material usage, a high level of automation and optimal workflows. This allows us to produce as resource efficient a product as possible, without having to sacrificing function and quality. In order to increase the understanding and value of our knowledge, this is packaged and communicated in an attractive way to the market through our marketing efforts.
