Experiences from one year of climate neutrality

For a year now, ASS Maschinenbau GmbH from Overath has been a certified climate-neutral location. ASS would like to take this opportunity to thank its customers for the great response to this certification.

"We actively used the Corona crisis to promote climate-neutral change. Of course there are costs involved. This action, planned at an early stage, offers enormous opportunities for the future viability of the company and for partnership-based cooperation with our customers. The numerous positive feedback shows how important climate neutrality is for our customers. Of course, the path continues and it was not a one-off show, there are many other adjustment screws to effectively promote climate neutrality."
Reinhold Ziewers, Managing Director of ASS Maschinenbau GmbH

All employees at ASS contribute in their respective fields to increasing the quality and sustainability of gripper parts, robot hands and automation systems. Sustainable and resource-saving planning and action is pursued in all business areas in order to cover all areas of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

There are many adjustment screws that have a positive effect on this. For example, a gas absorption heat pump with heat recovery and full-surface underfloor heating for reduced heating requirements were integrated during construction.

Sustainability and quality in the foreground

Particular importance is attached to sustainability at the heart, the development and manufacture of mechatronic robotic components:
The development of new mechatronic gripper parts and the optimal planningand Utilization of production forms a very special part of sustainability. The resource-saving development of gripper parts and the use of high-quality materials in our own production result in durable, high-quality products. This offers the user the advantage of process-reliable gripper parts for minimized downtimes.

Thanks to the production site in Overath, there are short delivery routes and reduced logistics effort with very high availability at the same time. The gripper parts manufactured in Germany come directly from the ASS production facility at the customer's site and do not have to go through third countries.

Climate neutrality is an ongoing process

But things that are supposedly small and actually taken for granted, such as the coordinated recycling of printer cartridges and batteries or the gradual switch to LED lighting, also have a positive overall effect on the CO2 footprint.

"In the second year, we managed to further reduce the non-compensable CO2 emissions by 30% through many small measures. We continue on this path, we understand sustainability as a lived process. Reducing the environmental impact through tried and tested digital meetings instead of face-to-face meetings is just as natural for us as the increased use of electromobility. For example, we offer our employees bike leasing and are planning a free charging station for our employees' e-bikes. Of course, there are also free car charging stations for e-cars available for our employees."
