19 Company Contact SAFELOG GmbH Henleinstr. 4 85570 Markt Schwaben strunz@safelog.de What are the primary benefits of the leasing offer? The primary benefit is that customers are not required to invest any of their own funds prior to the initiation of an automation project. CHG-MERIDIAN handles all pre-financing, including down payments. The initial leasing installment is not due until after project acceptance. This approach eliminates all initial capital expenditure. Additionally, CHG bears the residual value risk, which positively affects the installment amount. Consequently, our leasing offer substantially reduces the customer‘s financial expenditure, allowing them to swiftly begin realizing a return on investment (ROI). Could you please clarify the immediately ROI? As soon as the project is approved, regular operations commence, offering the customer savings due to more efficient processes or reduced personnel costs. This is also when the lease payments begin. In practice, this means that the monthly savings often exceed the lease payments. The contract is concluded with CHG-MERIDIAN AG? How long does it run for, and how much are the monthly payments? Yes, the leasing contract is directly concluded with CHG-MERIDIAN. The standard duration is between 36 and 60 months, with the option to customize. The monthly payments will depend on several factors, including the total investment volume and the ratio between hardware and software components. The desired contract term and the creditworthiness of the lessee also influence the final payment. At the conclusion of the initial term, customers have the option to return the mobile robots to CHG and transition to more recent models. Alternatively, the existing lease agreement can be extended to ensure the continued use of the current fleet. It is also possible to purchase the vehicles. The choice between these options depends on the customer‘s individual requirements and strategic orientation. Thank you very much Mr. Behounek.

However, many of its specific requirements will be phased in over the following years. But which types of packaging are affected, which companies need to take action, and what exactly will they need to do? Product compliance expert Patrick Fischer Riegert from imds professional answers these and other key questions. What is the PPWR and what are its main objectives? For me, the PPWR is above all a clear signal from the EU: in the future, packaging should not only protect products effectively and look appealing, but also become significantly more sustainable. The regulation aims to reduce packaging waste, use fewer materials, and keep valuable resources in circulation for longer. For companies, this means rethinking packaging. It should not be viewed merely as a compliance obligation, but also as an opportunity to improve processes and demonstrate responsibility in a visible way. What will change for companies from 12 August 2026? In my view, 12 August 2026 marks the starting point for practical implementation. From that date, the PPWR will generally apply directly across all EU Member States. Companies will need a much clearer understanding of the packaging they use, how it is designed, and which requirements already apply. They will also need to determine their … Read more https://t1p.de/vkeb7 Patrick Fischer Riegert Image: © private Image: AI-generated
