Translations:Die Fabrik Traunreut/4/en
Today, the site mainly produces ovens, compact ovens with integrated microwave and radiant cooktops. More than two million home appliances roll off the production lines annually. Moreover, the development centers for small home appliances, such as fully automatic coffee machines and espresso machines as well as kettles and hair dryers, are located in Traunreut.[1] Innovations are a tradition at Traunreut: the first cooker with oven carriage[2], the first cooker with automatic roasting[3], the cooker with an integrated microwave[4], the first fully electric cooker[5] as well as cooktops with cooking and roasting sensors[6] all came from Traunreut.
Conserving energy and resources was always a top priority at Traunreut. A biomass heating plant was established on the company premises in 1999, which produced more CO2-neutral electricity than the site needed. The excess electricity was given to the municipality of Traunreut. Likewise, the additional heat recovered was fed into the municipal district heating network.[7] Since 2012, the newly constructed container terminal has ensured that many consignments are no longer transported by truck, rather by train, saving around 1,000 truck journeys every year.
