SUSTAINABILITY HAS A FUTURE
at MAINCOR
The topic of energy supply is of eminent importance to MAINCOR. As a producer in the plastics industry, MAINCOR needs around eleven million kilowatt hours of electricity annually for its production. The theme of own power production has therefore been on the agenda for years. Various photovoltaic roof systems and an own ground-mounted solar power plant at the Knetzgau site guarantee sustainable and economically sensible generation of our own electricity.
As a result, MAINCOR is currently able to cover 25 percent of its electricity needs itself. On good days, the company already supplies itself exclusively with self-produced electricity.
These actions make the company fit for the future.
The sparing use of resources, innovations and the conversion of value chains are of central importance in order to harmonise environmental protection and economic development. It is not only the company that should benefit, but also the citizens of the Knetzgau community.
MAINCOR is already in talks with several companies that deal with the topic of storage.
For Dieter Pfister, this is another great challenge that he would like to tackle with MAINCOR: “We see ourselves as pioneers and are ready to break new ground.”
