The red-card process was adopted and implemented by Roto Fittings (another division of Roto located at a different site in southern Germany) in 2011 as well as by optical and optoelectronic manufacturer Carl Zeiss in 2012. Furthermore, this process triggered learning and benchmarking visits from diverse companies including Siemens Healthcare, French building materials manufacturer Saint-Gobain, industrial food steamer and oven manufacturer Rational AG and Volkswagen.
