Lower emissions, reduced costs, better prices for customers
At our printing house, we take sustainability seriously – and not just as a marketing slogan. Energy-intensive print production is amongst sectors where every ecological measure can have a truly visible impact. That's why we've invested in our own photovoltaic power plant, which today helps us operate more cleanly, efficiently and economically.
496 panels, 250.48 kWp and a third of our own consumption
On the roof of our production hall, 496 solar panels are installed with a total output of 250.48 kWp. Thanks to this, we can cover approximately a third of our entire annual energy consumption from a renewable source.
This means:
significantly lower carbon footprint of production
reduced dependence on external electricity suppliers
stable and more predictable energy costs
What we don't consume ourselves, we send to a partner company, so the energy doesn't go to waste and remains in local circulation.
Economic benefit: lower costs = better prices for customers
Photovoltaics isn't just an ecological measure – it's also a smart economic decision.
Thanks to our own electricity production:
we reduce operating costs,
we plan long-term stable prices better,
we can offer a more competitive price for printing, packaging and additional services.
In other words: cleaner printing doesn't mean more expensive. On the contrary – thanks to PV, we can keep prices for our customers favourable in the long term.
Energy from renewable sources as standard
Our PV system is part of a broader sustainability strategy that includes:
ecological handling of paper and waste,
optimisation of production processes,
use of waste heat for water heating,
emphasis on recycling and circular approach in production.
Solar panels are one of the steps that gives our operations a clear direction: to be a printing house of the future, where technology, economy and ecology complement each other.
What does the customer get from this?
Besides a better price, it's mainly the assurance that:
printing of your materials has a lower ecological footprint,
we manufacture with emphasis on sustainability,
you support a company that invests in modern technologies and renewable sources.
