Environmental protection at LEWA
By combining engineering expertise at product and system level and due to a deep application knowledge, LEWA is able to develop customer-specific and energy-saving solutions for a wide variety of industries.
Environmentally friendly pump systems
LEWA sees it as a part of their corporate responsibility to handle resources sustainably and to protect the environment. This is what our pump systems stand for – with hermetic sealing, high efficiency, and energy-saving drive systems. They permit more environmentally friendly processes and energy-efficient production. Our sign for environmentally friendly pumps:
The LEWA eco-seal.
Eco-friendly production
We commit ourselves to acting responsible and by means of cost savings we assure long-term cost effectiveness, jobs and thus also competitiveness. Moreover we protect the environment. But this responsibility doesn't just stop with our products. We also place great value on environmentally friendly techniques in our own production. We are actively participating in the commercial environmental program ECOfit organized by the state of Baden-Württemberg. This program examines and evaluates waste management, air purity, water use, and energy savings.

Sports support at LEWA
We support the local sports active in various fields. Sports aren't just good for the body. They also improve social competence, team spirit, persistence, and mental fitness and creativity.
These properties are decisive for success in both sports and career.
TSV Eltingen e.V. - focus on football
The benefit of team sports is that team members learn to respect rules and structures at an early age. They act together, and one can only be successful as a team. Thus social skills are trained through positive experiences. This is what we require from our employees and trainees as well.
Therefore, we support sports club TSV Eltingen and especially its youth soccer teams. Since March 2014, the TSV athletes host their matches and meetings at the LEWA Sportpark. Also located in the club’s facilities is the LEWA Arena, home turf of Eltingen’s soccer players and venue of an annual tournament.
Men's team handball division of the SG Leonberg/Eltingen sports club in Germany
Without sponsors, success would be difficult to achieve. This applies equally to professionals and to amateurs. To a large extent, it is money from sponsors that provides favorable training conditions and equipment and host events. For this reason, it is an honor for a local company like LEWA to support the SG Leonberg/Eltingen on its way to further success.
Leonberg City Run
An event for the whole family. That's the Leonberg City Run, thanks to generous support from sponsors like LEWA.
Sponsorship funds make it possible for runners to enter for very little charge, and schoolchildren to enter entirely free of charge. But the run is also popular for its attractive route through the different parts of Leonberg. Despite all the support for the participants, social responsibility isn't missed out: Every year, the winnings are donated to charity organizations and regional associations.
LEWA company sports group
Our company sports group, there for more than 40 years.
Sports enthusiasts of all ages from our corporate ranks can come together to satisfy their need for exercise. The international group is always happy to find new members. The training takes place every Tuesday from 5:15 to 6:45 PM in the gymnasium of the August Lämmle School in Leonberg-Ramtel.
Responsibility for our region
The support of children, youth, and disadvantaged members of our society is a matter close to LEWA’s heart. This is why we are involved in numerous social and school projects, around and in Leonberg.
The support of children, youth, and disadvantaged members of our society is a matter close to LEWA’s heart. This is why we are involved in numerous social and school projects, around and in Leonberg.
These include our support for the Spitalhof nursery as part of the TECHNOlino Project.
For the older kids, there is a cooperation project with the Johannes-Kepler High School. This introduces tenth grade girls to the options of engineering careers by means of demanding projects. In addition, we work together with the DAA (Deutsche Angestellten-Akademie Böblingen) and the BSZ Leonberg vocational school to integrate refugees. By offering internships we help provide occupational orientation and prepare for a career or training.
In music, values and standards are communicated which are also relevant in professional life. Characteristics such as tolerance and creativity are promoted in the same way. That is why LEWA supports the Jugendmusikschule (music school for youth) in Leonberg. Primary school children can participate in an instrumental work group through the project.
The important thing in all this is the reciprocity of the relationships. That means that LEWA offers the funds and support, but simultaneously improves its social competence by contact with different people. After all, this is the reason that involvement in projects is a fixed part of apprenticeship at LEWA.
