According to experts, it takes around 80 mature beech trees to compensate one ton of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air every year. This calculation illustrates the benefit to nature that an emission saving of 219 tons of CO2 per year can achieve; such an achievement – equivalent to the capacity of 17,520 beech trees – has been accomplished by b&m in 2022. After all, in 2022 we were able to reduce the CCF (Company Carbon Footprint) substantially by 38 percent as compared to the previous year.
When Julia Klinkenberg received her high-school diploma (“Abitur”), she had several goals. To see the world, to get involved, to make a difference. The way to get there? A jungle of possibilities. The guardrails were set by an empty vacation fund and a job interview at the industrial supplier baier & michels, or b&m for short, in Rohrbach (Ober-Ramstadt).
The hybrid construction method is both a solution and a challenge: The different materials must be joined together in a manner that is not only reliable but also process-safe. b&m scores with cold-formed solutions beyond the conventional paths. The latest episode of the “Maschinenraum” podcast by Dennis Rathmann deals with the b&m-specific approach (#266). The guests are our Sales expert Jana Tischler and Eugen Kraus, Head of Sales Engineering.
