We want to think today about the day after tomorrow and we face the challenges of climate change and resource scarcity. With the changes towards more sustainability and our holistic thinking, we are repositioning Pöttker and sharpening our environmentally conscious profile.

We want to act responsibly and for this reason we are going even further to set an example in the metalworking industry. An energy audit in accordance with DIN EN 16247-1 is only one component. We are constantly reducing our energy consumption and using existing energy more and more efficiently, for example through new LED lighting in our buildings.

Solar energy & Environment

Since 2013, we have installed photovoltaic systems with a total output of around 463 kWp on all the roofs of our factory buildings in Lippstadt. The group has a total of over 1,000 kWp, and there will be an expansion of around 57 kWp in 2024/25. These systems generate clean solar electricity that is fed directly into our production processes, including the nitrogen plant. To maximize the use of solar power, we have installed an intelligent energy management system.

This system controls and monitors the flow of electricity in the company and ensures that the solar power is used as efficiently as possible. The combination of photovoltaic systems, intelligent energy management, and electricity storage enables us to achieve a high degree of energy self-sufficiency. We are able to generate a large portion of our own electricity, making us less dependent on fossil fuels.

The fleet consists of electric and hybrid vehicles. The vehicles are supplied with electricity from the company’s own photovoltaic systems. Our trucks are designed for low fuel consumption and low CO2 emissions thanks to special tires. All vehicles are up to date in terms of emissions and noise.
