About the foundation

The object of the foundation is the advancement of scientific projects in the field of ventilation and air-conditioning technology and the support of social and cultural activities.

With 33 subsidiary companies in 27 countries on five continents, 20 production facilities, and importers and representatives, TROX is present in over 70 countries. Currently, the TROX GROUP has around 4,950 employees worldwide and generates annual revenues of more than EUR 725 million.

OUR PRINCIPLE


"THE HUMAN BEING IS THE YARDSTICK AND HIS WELL-BEING IS OUR GOAL"

We are especially committed to this motto which was created by our founder, Heinz Trox.

Human beings and their well-being are therefore at the centre of our business. This applies to our work in the scientific world as well as in the social and cultural sectors. Human well-being is ensured when people are provided with the essentials for daily life.

This includes:

  • Food and accommodation
  • Clothing and security
  • Health and education
  • Communication and transport
  • Science and research



Communities are often unable to offer these necessities in the appropriate amount or quality to all their members. This is where our social commitment comes in.

We support projects:

  • which help people to help themselves
  • which are geared towards sustainability
  • which encourage third parties to take responsibility
  • which enable synergies and explore additional resources


We are a reliable partner when cooperating with third parties to develop projects which serve to improve human welfare.

Cooperation with third parties does not preclude the Heinz Trox Foundation from developing and operating its own projects.

Alongside project work, the Foundation will continue providing smaller grants for individual measures or institutions at the German TROX GmbH locations, a practice which was followed by the founder for over two decades.

Heinz Trox's view always comprised the whole world. With his view in mind, we will develop and participate in projects regionally, nationally and internationally.

We pursue active communication. This includes informing the public about our goals, projects and the use of resources.
