1.3 FAIR AND LONG PARTNERSHIPS

A reliable partner and good raw materials are the basis for high-quality pro-

ducts. The ambition to build long-term relationships is rooted in supporting

each other and dedicating ourselves to common goals: Quality, environmental

friendliness, transparency, and responsible product development. For this

reason, ZEITRAUM relies on a few companies that meet our high standards

in terms of sustainability in their areas of expertise and work in a trans-

parent manner. Our partners' performance is continuously reviewed and

evaluated. In addition, last year we drew up a code of conduct that sets

standards for joint and conscientious action.

Average length of partnerships in years

All but one of our production partners are located within a radius of less

than 400 km around the company, all in Central Europe. The furniture is

made in Germany and northern Italy. The wood is also largely sourced from

Central Europe, where it is fully FSC / PEFC certified. Non-European wood,

such as American walnut and American cherry, is sourced from Horizon

Wood Products Inc. and Missouri-Pacific Lumber, two family-owned compa-

nies from Pennsylvania and Missouri that have been committed to sustaina-

bility since the company was founded and even established their own „Ever-

green Initiative“ for this purpose (Horizon Wood Products Inc.), committing

themselves to the highest environmental, social, and ethical standards.

By working closely together and using the high

requirements as a basis, ZEITRAUM can ensure

transparent environmental and social standards.

We understand the work with suppliers and

production partners as continuous development

and coordination. This is how we succeed in

achieving environmental goals and repeatedly

launching product innovations.
