COOLING THE SMART WAY
Sustainability in production means continuous change. We’re learning, testing, adapting – step by step.
We’ve started rooftop work on a new adiabatic cooling system for our production halls in Mühlacker. It is just another step in our effort to make manufacturing cleaner and more energy-efficient.
The system cools air using natural evaporation – without refrigerants – and consumes significantly less energy than conventional air conditioning. It improves working conditions during hot periods and supports our long-term goal of reducing emissions.
But this is just one part of our broader sustainability approach:
– We generate solar power with a 420 kWp photovoltaic system
– We use closed-loop water systems with no process wastewater
– Heat from our ventilation systems is recovered and reused
– Lighting throughout the facility has been converted to LED
– We build energy-efficient machines in-house
– And we’ve started switching to CO₂-neutral GreenSteel in selected product lines
Sustainability isn’t a buzzword for us. It’s something we work on every year, one decision at a time.
The adiabatic cooling system is the latest visible sign of that process. More steps will follow.
