Actions related to painting

An amended permit allowed our company to increase production capacity considerably in a modern paint shop. This permit contains extensive conditions and limit values that cover various environmental aspects, such as air quality, water use, waste management and noise emissions. By applying state-of-the-art technologies in line with the principle of best available techniques, we were able to reduce the environmental impact of this facility significantly.

Compared with older paint shops, the modern paint shop has a much lower environmental impact. Production can therefore be made much more environmentally friendly, among other things through considerably lower emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and reduced particle emissions during spraying.

In addition to optimising the main paint shops, we also retrofitted smaller areas. For example, paint booths in various areas of the company were replaced in order to reduce energy consumption and minimise emissions. The new systems have integrated technologies that reduce the need for fossil fuels and thereby lower both CO₂ and nitrogen oxide emissions.

To improve the use of chemicals, we have used technological advances that allow us to work more efficiently and with less material. In addition, the composition of paint materials was improved in cooperation with suppliers, in order to minimise both the environmental impact and the health risks for employees. This shows our continuous commitment to making processes more sustainable while ensuring the highest safety standards.
