Committed to reducing our carbon footprint

We are proud to announce the completion of a project which has seen 682 solar panels installed at our new manufacturing facility in the Algarve region of Portugal.

Building a sustainable and energy-efficient manufacturing facility was one of our key pre-requisites for the new plant. The Al garve is one of the sunniest places in Europe which allows us to maximise on-site solar energy generation. The 682 solar panels generate c.300KW of energy which means that 80% of the facility’s energy needs will be supplied by solar power. Our on-site solar energy generation has jumped an impressive 600% compared to our former manufacturing plant.

The investment in the panels has been made under the Portuguese Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) which is financed by the European Union. C11 Decarbonisation of Industry is a key component of the RRP as it will help Portugal to achieve its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. It aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the industrial sector.
