Sustainability – we've got the message

When it comes to efficiency, Bauer Maschinen takes a holistic approach. Productivity and efficiency have a long tradition at Bauer. While these factors were driven by economic concerns in the past, we follow a holistic approach today. How do we achieve this? With our energy-efficient power (EEP) package, for example. It includes numerous modifications to improve the efficiency of our equipment. Furthermore, all secondary consumers were optimized for energy efficiency. This lowers both energy and fuel consumption considerably, and also reduces noise emissions by up to 50%. In the end, everyone benefits from this. 

Sustainability considerations also play a role in the manufacture of our equipment and plants. At our Schrobenhausen plant for example, two existing oil and gas heating systems were replaced by two new energy-efficient gas heating systems in 2021. At the Aresing plant and the head office in Schrobenhausen, energy is generated by geothermal plants. A photovoltaic system has been installed in the Edelshausen plant that generated slightly more than 350 MWh of energy during 2021. The introduction and increased use of low-solvent water-based paints in 2009 with a solvent content of only 3-6% (about a tenth of that of conventional paints) also helped us greatly to reduce our VOC emissions compared to the previous year. You can read more about this in the Sustainability Report of the BAUER Group.
