SASA Volleyball Team in the Soweto Slum (Kenya)
For us, social responsibility is more than just a word — it’s a lived reality.
We are committed — to our employees, to the environment, and to building a society we actively help shape.
We support local schools, daycare centers, and sports clubs — with a special focus on early musical education, language development, and youth sports. Events like our in-house trade fair, Future Day, and the cultural festival Una Notte Siciliana create spaces for connection and exchange.
At the same time, our commitment goes beyond the region — for example, through our work with the Strahlemann Foundation for educational equity and SmartFactory Kaiserslautern for an innovative future.
For us, responsibility doesn’t end at the factory gate — it starts there.
For many years, we have extended our commitment beyond our region — especially in Africa.
In Soweto, one of the largest slums in Nairobi, we support the Arnold Janssen School for orphaned children. A deep well we funded on the school grounds provides clean drinking water to around 30,000 people — a vital contribution in a region lacking reliable infrastructure.
Another key focus is the Reinha Rosary Health Centre in Githunguri near Nairobi — the only medical facility serving approximately 120,000 people. Here, we specifically promote access to healthcare.
We also care deeply about the SASA volleyball team: through sports and educational support, young girls gain opportunities for participation, education, and a self-determined life — in a region where this is unfortunately not a given.
