We are engineers on a mission to support a better world, and as such, we look to reduce our negative impact on the environment and find new ways to increase efficiency and cut waste.

We have taken a number of steps to reduce the amount of power that we use. We generate quite a lot of our own using natural resources. The roof of our offices in Altrincham are covered with solar panels, and since 2013 they have produced circa 15,000 kWh per year that we are able to use on site.

Our work on developing structural thermal breaks to reduce heat loss through building envelopes is well documented. and includes finer structural details such as façade system supports, balcony attachments, data centre substructures, and rooftop plant installations.

We have a new energy monitoring system which allows us to monitor energy flowing to all of our manufacturing equipment. We have adopted Industry 4.0 standards in digitising our documentation, so the paper is only ever used when there is no other option. And when we do it is either recycled or FSC sourced.

Our commitment to sustainability is a core value that influences every aspect of our business, including how we select our suppliers. We understand that achieving our sustainability goals requires strong partnerships with suppliers who share our dedication to environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and ethical practices. Here is an overview of how we choose suppliers to support our sustainability objectives.
