Blomberg, 24 June 2008 – Delignit AG (ISIN DE000A0MZ4B0), leading
manufacturer of ecological products and system solutions based on the
natural derived timber product Delignit, has been awarded the 'The Blue
Angel' environmental label for its low-emission derived timber product
plates. Delignit was awarded this important and oldest environmental label
in the world for the two product areas 'Delignit® transporter floor plates'
and 'VANYCARE® transporter floor plates', a shop concept for the refitting
of light commercial vehicles with protective equipment for loading space.
Both Delignit solutions are distinguished by the use of wood from
sustainable forestry, do not release any pollutants and are moreover free
of halogen-organic compounds. Since 1978 the Blue Angel has been awarded to
company products which are distinguished by a special environmental
friendliness and thus shows consumers the way to find ecologically
impeccable products.
Markus Büscher, CEO of Delignit AG, says in this respect: 'We are very
proud that our many years of engagement in the field of sustainability and
environmental protection has now also been confirmed by an official
labelling. Successful economic and at the same time also ecological actions
do not therefore contradict each other. On the contrary, valuable synergy
effects are produced which we shall also continue to take advantage of in
future'.
