All global Trützschler locations aim to be climate neutral by 2035

For over 130 years, Trützschler has provided resource-efficient technologies for customers worldwide. As a family-owned company, it has placed a strong focus on ensuring sustainability for future generations. Now, Trützschler is taking decisive action to further minimise its environmental impact and maximise its contribution to sustainability, the company said in a media release.

By pursuing these ambitious targets, the company is going to transform its business. Trützschler’s global teams are now stepping up efforts to accelerate innovative energy management approaches, its shift to renewable power and more sustainable logistics processes.

“The shareholders of the Trützschler Group SE set these goals for climate neutrality as part of our commitment to protecting the planet and secure the long-term success of our company,” said Charlotte Fontaine, deputy chief spokesperson for the Hans Trützschler family.

Florian Schürenkrämer, deputy chief spokesperson for the Hermann Trützschler family, added: “That commitment has been a central part of our identity for more than 130 years – and we, the fifth generation of shareholders, are excited about taking the next steps forward in this long tradition.”

Trützschler’s technologies save resources, cut waste and reduce emissions for customers worldwide. Its own production processes are shaped by its passion for energy savings and resource-efficiency. And its people and partners actively promote a safer and more sustainable future. Together, these three factors will contribute to tangible results in the commitment to promoting environmental and social progress.

Innovations from Trützschler support the textile industry in becoming more sustainable. Its Wastecontrol system, for example, features sensors that help to make sure every fibre is used. Specially designed machines and equipment from Trützschler also support the transition to a circular economy by making it possible to produce yarn by recycling old material, production waste, or even plastic bottles. Its Wet-laid/Spunlace technologies support the production of fully biodegradable wet wipes that are made from pulp and cellulose, the release added.

Trützschler’s production facilities are designed to maximise sustainability, and it constantly seeks ways to further reduce energy consumption and boost resource efficiency. It goes beyond regulatory expectations, and proactively integrate environmental considerations into every aspect of its business. This involves using renewable energy from sources like solar panels, wind turbines and hydropower. The company also operates a continuous improvement approach to cut waste in its value chain. It is investing in climate-friendly logistics processes such as its fleet of low-emissions company cars. All Trützschler sites are certified in line with the ISO 50001 standard for energy management, and it is a partner of the Blue Competence sustainability initiative from the Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA).

As a family-owned company, its business is shaped by a firm belief in the importance of creating a sustainable future for generations to come. Health and safety are its top priority. It provides a working environment with flat hierarchies and fast decision-making, where strong values define its leadership approach.
