8 Manufacturing
1. Environmental requirements
The AS200 and AS200A are manufactured exclusively in Germany. Gigaset Communications attaches 
prime importance to compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. Through its management 
system and environmental performance, Gigaset Communications is able to meet these require-
ments and continue to improve. It goes without saying that Gigaset Communications also respects 
all local environmental requirements.
2. Effects of automation
The high degree of automation in Gigaset Communications’ production processes has a limited 
impact on the environment through energy saving and efficient machine utilisation.
For example, the electronic circuit board of these devices is produced solely on a production line 
with a cycle time of under 6 seconds and an efficiency greater than 75 %.
3. Manufacturing concepts
Gigaset Communications believes in a short feedback path for testing. All process parameters are 
controlled cyclically so that any problems can be detected promptly before they arise and non-con-
formance is minimised. Every step in the value chain is checked separately to help identify potential 
errors at an early stage.
Process controls and short feedback paths for testing therefore minimise material waste (compo-
nents and process aids). Rejects are continuously monitored with the goal of achieving a rate of  
less than 1 %.
4. Refuse disposal
Packaging material and electronic scrap are strictly separated in “environmental islands” at Gigaset 
Communications’ production facilities and recycled by local service providers. To reduce volume, the 
individual materials are compacted by roller presses. The compaction ratio for cardboard boxes is, for 
example, 6:1. This enables more efficient transportation of around 800 tons of cardboard per year.
5. Work safety
Gigaset Communications is especially committed to 
protecting the health and safety of its manufacturing 
employees. This is why Gigaset Communications takes
such great care to protect its employees in the work-
place. This includes steps such as responsible manage-
ment, instruction, sensitisation and process engineering, 
prevention of and planning for emergencies, systematic 
investigation into the causes of accidents, quick availa-
bility of medical aid, documentation, regular reporting 
and continuous improvement.
