NEA CULTURE
Corporate Social Responsibility has always been an important concern at NEUMAN & ESSER. Its primary focus is charitable and educative projects within the local surroundings. In this way, NEA wishes to arouse young people’s enthusiasm for technology, for example via cooperation with schools or targeted fostering of girls and boys in Übach-Palenberg, Germany.
NEA takes on apprentices far beyond its own requirements at all its German locations, also in economically underdeveloped regions. Here, not only the classical professions can be chosen by the more than 90 young people. Together with the European University of Applied Sciences in Brühl, the University of Applied Sciences in Aachen and the University Zittau/Görlitz, NEA also offers dual training programs.

On the occasion of the company’s 175th anniversary, the Peters Family decided to found their own foundation in 2005: the NEUMAN & ESSER Peters Family Foundation. It promotes science and research, cultural and historic preservation as well as local heritage, in particular in the industrial region of Aachen. The NEUMAN & ESSER Foundation supports the maintenance and preservation of structural and technical facilities, awards scientific grants as well as contributions to museums and public collections.
