Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming the SME network of the Cologne Chamber of Industry and Commerce to a special summer get-together at Quarzwerke in Frechen.
The new name was introduced for the first time at the K plastics trade fair in 2010 and has since established itself internationally as an independent brand.
Berlin, Berlin – we were in Berlin! From June 16 to 18, 2025, our trainees took part in the final round of the nationwide IHK “Energy Scouts” competition in the capital as finalists.
On Tuesday, June 3, an important event took place at Quarzwerke: the ceremonial presentation of the new guide to the conservation of excavation amphibians.
Eighty years ago today, World War II ended, a conflict that changed the world forever. With a total of 60 to 70 million deaths, it is the greatest tragedy of the 20th century.
Today, the topic of war is more relevant than ever. The effects of war must therefore not be forgotten. Perhaps one day we will learn from the mistakes of the past.
On April 5, 2025, everything at the Frechen plant revolved around safety: For the first time, a Safety Day was held there—a day of action dedicated entirely to strengthening safety awareness and responsible cooperation in everyday work.
Quality has always been a top priority at Quarzwerke. More than 100 years ago, we already had laboratories in our factories to ensure high standards. As our customers’ requirements grew, so did our standards—and so our central laboratory was established in 1955.
In times of rising energy costs and growing environmental awareness, innovative solutions for saving energy in companies are more in demand than ever. The Cologne Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) has recognized this need and has been organizing a competition for several years in which trainees develop energy-saving projects in their companies.
