Responsibility for tomorrow – Sustainability at ALMEX
Durable products, resource-saving manufacturing, and long-term thinking
Our Responsibility
Sustainability, environmental protection, and energy saving are more than ever central themes of responsible resource management. At ALMEX, these are essential factors in our thinking and daily actions. And, in accordance with ISO 14001, they are an integral part of our quality management system.
As a highly innovative development and manufacturing company with divisions in Public Transport, Retail & Logistics, Robotics, and Software Solutions, ALMEX makes a sustainable contribution to the future.
For us, sustainability means: developing products that last a long time, are repairable, and do not need to be replaced after a short period. Our systems are manufactured to high industrial standards – for use in harsh working conditions over many years. This is active responsibility towards customers, the environment, and future generations.
Our Fields of Action
Sustainability at ALMEX is not a marketing promise, but a lived practice in six key areas.
Durable Products
Resource-Saving Manufacturing
Efficient production processes, waste reduction, and circular economy at our worldwide manufacturing sites. Industry-standard modules and energy-saving components minimize material and energy consumption.
Energy Efficiency
Product Responsibility
We stand for long-term spare parts supply (15+ years), repair services, and lifecycle management over many years.
Our modern cashless machines also offer savings in material, energy, transport, and operating costs.
Social Responsibility
Long-term jobs, fair and safe working conditions, promotion of sports activities, and low employee fluctuation. E-charging stations, drinking water dispensers, and strict waste separation are part of our daily routine.
Supply Chain Responsibility
Careful selection of suppliers based on quality and sustainability criteria. The measures according to the LkSG (Supply Chain Due Diligence Act) are firmly implemented by us. We stand for compliance with international human rights standards.

What ALMEX does daily for more sustainability – measurable, traceable, effective. From a specialist in mobile data acquisition to a versatile innovation and engineering partner.

In a world of planned obsolescence, ALMEX focuses on the opposite: durability, repairability, and long-term product availability. Our ticketing systems have been in use for over 20 years – and continue to be maintained, repaired, and optimized.
For us, repairability is not an add-on, but a design principle. From the outset, we develop products so that they can be maintained, repaired, and upgraded – instead of ending up in the trash after a few years.

Spare parts supply guaranteed for over 15+ years

EcoVadis
Sustainability at a Glance
With the EcoVadis certification, we make our commitment to sustainability, environmental protection, and social and ethical responsibility (CSR) transparent and comparable.
Sustainability and social responsibility are values that play an increasingly important role in purchasing decisions. This applies to all parties along the supply chain, because those who can demonstrate responsible handling of these values score points.
ALMEX was rated “Silver” by EcoVadis in 2021 for its commitment in the four areas: Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.
We have been a firm member since 2013 and have continuously improved since then. We are confident that we will continue to expand our commitment to social responsibility. You can count on that!
The collaborative ecovadis platform ensures the comparability (including internationally) of different management systems and standards. Furthermore, it provides sustainability assessments and tools for performance improvement for global supply chains.
The methodology is based on international sustainability standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative, the United Nations Global Compact, and ISO 26000, covering more than 200 spending categories and more than 160 countries.
