REDUCE

More Resource-Efficient Production

Efficient use of raw materials is a central concern for our production. As part of the “Resource-Efficient Production” project funded by Effizienz-Agentur NRW, we are optimizing our punching techniques to reduce the use of copper and steel materials.

To improve recycling, we are analyzing our separation processes with the aim of achieving the highest possible raw material recovery rate.

In the injection molding process, we are reducing by-products like sprues through more efficient tools and technologies. In 2024, we were able to avoid around 260 metric tons of sprue by adapting 60 tools of the 221 Series.. Development of further tool generations is planned to enable sprue-free, cycle-time-optimized production. Remaining sprues are processed into post-industrial regranulate at five production sites using mills and extruders.
