Ten years ago, we moved our German operations to a plant that was specifically designed to be green
possible, but when materials are not available nearby, we have no choice but to look elsewhere. At our manufacturing Center of Excellences, we collaborate with companies near us to minimize transportation costs and their associated environmental impact. We focus on sourcing solutions that contribute to reducing the energy impact, such as less electricity-consuming devices, like pumps and exhaust blowers. By doing so, we not only reduce electricity consumption but also noise. Sustainability remains our top priority, though we sometimes face difficult choices when price pressures conflict with eco-friendly options. For instance, when local sourcing is not feasible and we must import materials, we acknowledge it is not ideal environmentally, but often unavoidable. This balance between cost and sustainability requires constant discussion as we assess each customer’ s willingness to pay more for greener solutions. Overall, this approach is working well, and we are committed to managing these challenges responsibly,” he ends.
By merging precision engineering with sustainable global operations, Extrude Hone doesn’ t just meet industry standards, it redefines what is possible in advanced manufacturing. ■
