Company & Values - ALFHA GmbH & Co. KG

Our ambition is a long-term, reliable and trusting cooperation at all levels: With our employees and customers as well as with our suppliers and business partners.

Our expertise lies in our team and its experience: We know the raw material wood with all its pitfalls. Many of our engineers, computer scientists, master craftsmen, technicians and skilled workers have been working in our company for decades. They have been able to expand their knowledge and experience in numerous projects and continue to do so.

Alfha thus combines continuity and experience with innovation, offering solutions that are technically advanced, but also reliable and tangible.

We are taking our social responsibility seriously and see our employees as more than just workers. Coupled with intensive training which has been an integral and indispensable part of the company's strategy since its foundation, we thus ensure performance in the long run.

								The family-owned company ALFHA consistently focuses on solutions and services for the sawmill and woodworking industry.

								Our focus is on striving for a long-term and trustful cooperation with the clients. ALFHA sees itself as a partner of the mechanical engineering industry as well as of sawmills, glued laminated timber producers and woodworking companies.

								ALFHA ensures its own profitability through intelligent, individual and innovative solutions, which in turn aim to secure and increase the value creation and profitability of the customer.

								Just as with its customers, ALFHA also strives for a long-term and trustful cooperation with its employees, suppliers and other business partners.

								The company's performance results from the high competence and motivation of its employees. Therefore, ALFHA takes its social responsibility seriously and regards its employees as more than a labour force. Coupled with intensive training, the company thus secures its performance in the long run.

								This also requires constant efforts in the area of research and development. However, ALFHA does not see innovation primarily as the use of the latest technologies, but above all as the implementation of ideas to arise added value with as little effort and solid technology as possible.

									7
								
								ALFHA sees the company headquarters in a rural environment as an opportunity as down-to-earth employees and the proximity to the raw material wood are indispensable in the target markets.

Social commitment is important to us as an Alfha team and we don't just leave it at words: many of our employees are active as volunteers in associations, social institutions or, for example, the volunteer fire brigade. Managing director Achim Habbel was and is also active as a volunteer in several associations and institutions and has been an examiner for IT specialists at the Siegen Chamber of Industry and Commerce for many years. The partners Alfons and Achim Habbel regularly support local associations financially. Here are some examples from the past years:

Schützenverein Fretter Donation 2020
Father and son celebrate "100th birthday": income doubled and donated
Alfha company donates jerseys for the Kenya project
Report from the Kenya trip of the Servir project

For many years now, we have used the pre-Christmas season to financially support social institutions and associations. We are grateful for our economic success and are pleased to be able to support people who, despite all adversity, never tire of working for a better world: For needy, distressed or forgotten people or also for the protection of our nature.

We have been supporting two regional associations in this spirit for many years, and will continue to do so in 2022:

Indienhilfe Simon
Improving the living conditions of the Dalits, a minority group in India

Jürgen Wahn Foundation
Here we support earmarked projects in Syria and Albania.
