From now on we would like to inform you on a yearly basis about the development of our company, the most important international markets, our innovative technology and new business segments. In addition to that we are looking behind the scenes and let people, who define the company, tell their stories: our employees. In 2012 we are celebrating a milestone anniversary and the belief, motivation and energy of our staff has guaranteed the success of our projects for the past 10 years. We have made great progress in the last decade. With our technology and our experi- ence we were market leaders from the beginning. We have won several awards for our groundbreaking technology. Our greatest award, however, are satisfied customers. During the last 10 years, we have created considerable value in agricultural areas with our biogas plants. Not only does biogas create jobs, but farmers could also assure the continuity of their agricultural businesses. The results are a sustainable way of thinking as well as support for local economies. Facts we are proud of. One has to admit that there has been a lot of controversy about biogas in Germany. The public discussion was dominated by prejudices and lack of knowledge. However, there has been a change of mind recently due to the governmental support for an EDITORIAL energy turnaround. The many advantages of biogas and its contribution to a successful transformation to renewable energy sources come more and more into focus. We take it as a confirmation of our pioneering work in the last 10 years.
