We take responsibility seriously.
Protection all year round, future-proofed.
We believe that sustainability is crucial for our future success because global challenges are continuously questioning established business models. As a chemical company, we consider environmental protection our responsibility to both current and future generations. We've integrated sustainability into our corporate strategy as a family-owned business focused on long-term investments rather than maximizing short-term profits.
Sustainability is one of our core principles, and our actions extend beyond mere compliance with legal regulations. We are committed to using natural resources sensibly for the benefit of future generations in order to ensure our long-term business success.
Environment and sustainability
Only the responsible use of natural resources for the benefit of future generations will ensure our long-term entrepreneurial success.
For the past 25 years, we have consistently included detailed information on environmental protection measures in our Annual Sustainability Report for our customers, suppliers, authorities, and the general public.
As a responsibly managed company, we provide our employees with principles and rules for correct and responsible conduct. Our Code of Conduct, based on our principles and values, expresses the expectations of the Group as an employer and is mandatory when conducting business.
Registration, evaluation and authorization of chemicals
REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals) is the new EU Regulation on chemicals and their safe use, which has been in force since 1.6.2007. This EU Regulation deals with essential aspects of manufacturing and trading of chemical substances. The REACH Regulation applies to individual materials and also for preparations (formulations) and products that contain these substances.
Together with the Environment and Safety Department at our sister company Follmann & Co. we track the consequences of REACH implementation and can therefore ensure compliance with the EU Regulation for our customers and partners.
Social and socio-political commitment
For decades, we have been investing in environmental technology, which has helped us reduce our resource consumption and emissions. Through technical and organizational measures, we minimize the volume of waste, residual materials, and wastewater, and continuously monitor our environmental impact. Triflex is an important employer in Minden and fulfills its social responsibility as a medium-sized family business. Our corporate culture is open and fair, and we maintain ongoing dialogues with our employees, customers, neighbors, environmental associations, schools, journalists, and politicians.
Corporate responsibility for liquid applied waterproofing systems and markings
In order to broaden expertise in the area of liquid applied waterproofing and cold plastics, we are actively involved in professional associations and bodies on a national and international level. We see ourselves as part of society and take responsibility for our actions. This is why we have a self-imposed duty to offer only quality products to the construction industry, which are of benefit to all parties concerned. This is only possible through dialogue with all parties involved in construction projects.
Quality standards – certified safety
When it comes to product development, environmental compatibility is a major aspect of our requirements profile. To this end, we attach particular importance to the use of renewable raw materials. All materials and processes are tested for their environmental impact. Production is conducted to the highest environmental standards; safety and environmental aspects are subject to a process of continual improvement. Triflex waterproofing systems are ETA-approved (European Technical Authority) and belong to the highest possible categories according to ETAG 005. At Triflex, we regard continuous internal and external quality controls in production as essential:
Internal control of all raw materials
Quality control, including external monitoring by DiBt (German Institute of Structural Engineering), MPA, BBA, German Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt), among others
Certifications and test data for waterproofing systems
Triflex works with trained and certified contractors
