Committed to making heavy industry lighter and greener

Sustainability is key to our work. Our goal is create lighter components, cut down on energy use and reduce emissions, to make heavy industry lighter and greener. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact through innovative practices. This commitment helps us create lighter, more efficient parts, contributing to a better future. By prioritising the reuse and recycling of raw materials, minimising waste, and reducing our carbon footprint, we aim to lead the way in sustainable manufacturing. 

Sustainable machining

In our machining and finishing divisions Doesburg Components and Brinks Components, we focus on creating lighter products and maximising the reuse of materials. Our recycling initiatives include the recovery and pressing of metal shavings, which are then melted down and reused efficiently. Additionally, we recycle rinse tanks and employ the latest machinery to reduce energy consumption and waste. We reuse 96% of our raw materials and transform waste into valuable and durable products.  

By continuously upgrading to more energy-efficient machines and utilising compressed air recycling, we significantly reduce our energy consumption. Our commitment to sustainability extends to working closely with customers to develop lighter products, supporting local-for-local production, and maintaining proximity to our clients to minimise transportation impacts.

Electric and energy-efficient casting

In our foundries, both Gieterij Doesburg and Fonderie Laval use modern electric melting furnaces that are far more efficient than traditional coke ovens. These state-of-the-art furnaces have enabled us to cut CO2 emissions by more than 30%. Our facilities are also equipped with solar panels, integrating renewable energy sources to further minimise our environmental impact. With a robust recycling programme we reduce waste and embrace a circular economy. Our different locations allow us to reduce transport distances, further lowering our carbon footprint compared to overseas production.
