NEW: Innovative wear plates, specially developed for the recycling sector!
Wear plates used in the recycling sector, especially the lining of baling presses used for
processing steel scrap, are subjected to an enormously high amount of abrasive wear. This
can lead to frequent weld cladding and machine downtimes. We have developed our
new, innovative CRT60 wear plates precisely with this in mind.

On behalf of all of us who took part, I would like
to thank Management cordially for allowing us to
carry out our fire fighting drills as part of a realis-
tic simulation at the Remscheid site around and in
the Hasteraue 13 building in autumn 2018 with
the Remscheid-Hasten youth fire brigade. The fire
brigade‘s smoke machine provided “clean, white
walls in front of our eyes” in some areas of our plant
in Remscheid, just like in the previous evacuation
drills.
Finally, I would like to thank all of my colleagues who
have supported me in my role as Fire Protection Offi-
cer and wish my successor all the best for her work,
much success and all the support I was allowed to
enjoy!
Fire Protection
Fire protection encompasses all measures to prevent the outbreak and spread of a fire,
as well as measures to rescue people and animals and effectively distinguish the fire. All
employees are obliged to use fire and primers, as well as any flammable devices, items
and materials, with the utmost care. Fire protection is a multifaceted task and is present
in many areas of day-to-day life at Carl Aug. Picard GmbH.
