Sustainability is at the centre of our
thoughts and actions. Out of conviction!
GreenTech is pro-active development.
Even in the design phase, the materials and processes we use are optimi-
sed for the greatest possible eco-friendliness, energy balance and –
wherever possible – recyclability. We continually improve the material
and performance of our products, as well as the flow and noise charac-
teristics. At the same time, we significantly reduce energy consumption.
Close co-operation with universities and scientific institutes and the pro-
fessorship we endow in the area of power engineering and regenerative
energies allows us to profit from the latest research findings in these
fields – and at the same time ensure highly qualified young academics.
GreenTech is eco-friendly production.
GreenTech also stands for maximum energy efficiency in our production
processes. There, the intelligent use of industrial waste heat and ground-
water cooling, photovoltaics and, of course, our own cooling and venti-
lation technology are of the utmost importance. Our most modern plant,
for instance, consumes 91% less energy than currently specified and
required. In this way, our products contribute to protecting the environ-
ment, from their origin to their recyclable packaging.
GreenTech is acknowledged and certified.
Every step in our chain of production meets the stringent standards of
environmental specialists and the public. The Deutscher Nachhaltigkeits-
preis 2012 (German Sustainability Award 2012), where we were given the
Top3-award in the category “Germany’s most sustainable strategy for the
future (company group)” bears testimony to our commitment to sustainabi-
lity, as does the DEKRA Award 2012 we received in the category “Umwelt –
Herausforderung Energiewende / Environment – Challenge: Transition to
more sustainable energy systems”, to name only a few of a large number
of examples. The environmental advantage gained in the performance of
the products developed from our GreenTech philosophy can also be mea-
sured in the fulfillment of the most stringent energy and environmental
standards. In many instances, our products are already well below the
thresholds energy legislation will impose a few years from now – several
times over.
Our customers profit from this every day.
The heart of GreenTech is future-oriented EC technology from ebm-
papst. The EC technology at the core of our most efficient motors and
fans allows efficiency of up to 90%, saves energy at a very high level,
significantly extends service life and makes our products maintenance-
free. These values pay off not only for the environment, but every cent al-
so pays off for the user! All ebm-papst products – even those for which
GreenTech EC technology does not (yet) make sense from an application
viewpoint – feature the greatest possible connection of economy and
ecology.
Eco-friendliness and sustainability have always been at the core of
our thoughts and actions. For decades, we have worked according
to the simple but strict creed of our co-founder Gerhard Sturm:
“Each new product we develop has to be better than the last one in
terms of economy and ecology.” GreenTech is the ultimate expres-
sion of our corporate philosophy.
