Temperature Control Review: At our global manufacturing facilities, we monitor and maintain air temperature within recommended ranges to ensure energy-efficient operations and optimal working conditions. The Delavan manufacturing unit operates with designated temperature settings, while the Rochester, New York facility utilizes a Building Management System to control temperature and lighting. Other facilities are actively working towards implementing similar systems as part of future plans for enhanced efficiency.
Energy Consumption Monitoring: The implementation of sensors allows us to monitor energy consumption. The insights gained from this monitoring will inform future energy-saving actions and initiatives. This is in effect at Assen, Netherlands, Erpe-Mere, Belgium and Norderstedt, Germany sites.
HVAC System Renewal: In Santorso, Italy and Rochester, New York locations, outdated HVAC units were replaced with modern, energy-efficient systems. This upgrade enhances climate control while minimizing energy use.

2 Transition to LED Lighting: Over the past 10 years, we have implemented LED lighting in more than 90% of our production facilities globally, significantly reducing energy usage while improving illumination to enhance the working environment. This initiative is still ongoing in some locations, as we continue to upgrade our facilities to achieve greater energy efficiency.
Compressor System Upgrades and Optimization:
At our sites in Erpe-Mere, Belgium; Delavan, Wisconsin; Ahmedabad, India; Shanghai, China; and Bydgoszcz, Poland, we upgraded compressor systems by replacing outdated piston compressors with advanced screw compressors driven by variable speed drives (VSD). This transition improved energy efficiency and system reliability. Additionally, following an energy audit, we implemented a global compressed air management program, encouraging sites to repair leaks and establish a preventive maintenance program with inspections every three to six months, enhancing efficiency and reducing energy waste.
6 Presence Sensing Lighting Devices: Our global sites are either fully operational or nearing completion, with the installation of presence-sensing devices in production sanitary rooms. These devices ensure that lights are only in use when necessary, significantly reducing energy waste and contributing to more efficient energy management across our facilities.
“While sustainability is often discussed, one project at our facility in Santorso, Italy truly embodies it by combining geothermal and solar energy to provide space cooling. This initiative not only reduces our environmental impact but also enhances the well-being of our team members.”
