Corporate social responsibility of a start-up? WAVELABS received equity for product development and marketing. This is why we decided to spend our private dollars instead of company money on the local school initiative genialsozial (www.genialsozial.de). Konrad Fabian, a 16 year-old schoolboy from Leipzig, worked a day with us to earn this contribution for genialsozial. In turn, he got some work experience instead of going to school. And since it was his birthday, we received not only his labor but [...]

Everyone stay relaxed, perfect! … [...]

An important milestone for WAVELABS — today, our Baccini Tester/Sorter was delivered. Now it’s time to put theory into practice. The goal is quick and easy integration of the SINUS-220 into the production system. Design, plan, execute — done. We’re up and running. Bella macchina!
