Maximum eco-electricity

In our production, we rely on sustainable energy sources to minimise our ecological footprint. This includes the environmentally friendly generation of electricity from hydropower. We are currently in the process of building a new power plant with three turbines to provide even more clean energy for our production processes. This underlines our commitment to sustainable and responsible production that prioritises the protection of our environment and resources.

At the head office in Frankenmarkt, a large photovoltaic plant was built. When the final construction phase is completed in spring 2023, the plant will cover an area of about 15,000 m² across all warehouses and production halls and produce over 2,500 kWp of electricity. This investment of 2.2 million euros will cover about 45 % of the electricity needs of the entire operation.

In our commitment to sustainability, we have focused on technologies and measures that reduce our CO₂-emissions significantly. This includes the use of photovoltaic systems and hydropower, which are renewable energy sources. We are also investing in energy efficiency, for example through heat recovery systems that use surplus heat. In addition, we are increasingly using sustainable packaging materials to further reduce our environmental impact.

We also take care of the environment when it comes to heat utilisation. Therefore, the tunnel pasteurisers of the canning plants are used as heat sources for heating the storage areas. The new and 50% of the existing administration building, i.e. a total of 12,000m², are heated exclusively using waste heat from the production compressors.
