As a medium-sized family business and internationally recognized German brand, our social responsibility is very important to us. This includes not only our commitment to training, but also supporting young people in their school education, cooperating with local associations or sponsoring students from a wide range of disciplines.
Sponsorship Award & Social Commitment
Bernard Clemens Award
The Bernard Clemens Award was established in 2012 and is now endowed with €18,000. Every year, we award the prize to the best graduates (m/f/d) of the three Wittlich high schools and the two secondary schools.

Nothing is more important than speaking languages and understanding other cultures and becoming open to immigration, refugees, foreign customs and foreign religions in one’s own country.
Awarding companies
