Enabling transformation

Feintool publishes sustainability report - Seite 2

Feintool is also reducing the environmental footprint of its products themselves – “blanking more efficiently with less energy” summarizes the benefits of the new “FB one” fineblanking press, for example. In 2019, Feintool developed this new hydraulic press generation for fineblanking metal parts ready for assembly with a multitude of complex innovations and released it for comprehensive field testing. The FB one’s environmental performance is impressive, with a 30 percent reduction in energy consumption and up to 50 percent reduction in oil consumption.

In line with its “Expanding Horizons” claim, the group wants to expand its environmental activities into a comprehensive sustainability management system. Key areas of activity in this regard include resource efficiency in the supply chain, HR recruitment and development, and employee health and safety. “When it comes to production, our focus is on being the leader in the market for sustainable technologies and on our presence in attractive markets,” said CEO Zimmer.
