Proactive and transparent communication – “Sustainability is nothing new for Oerlikon – what’s new is that we are talking about it so transparently,” says Georg Stausberg, Chief Sustainability Officer at Oerlikon. In 2021, Oerlikon published its first sustainability report. We talked with Georg Stausberg and Dr. Sven Hicken, Chief Technology Officer of the Surface Solutions Division why an sustainability report wasn’t issued before and the sustainability objectives Oerlikon is targeting by 2030.
What does it take to manufacture products and components that generate substantially less waste without compromising their utility or performance? EcoGear, a joint R&D project between Oerlikon, industry partners and academia, focuses on a manufacturing process improvement that, apart from reducing waste, even uses less energy and has a smaller carbon footprint.
Oerlikon´s employees implement green innovations worldwide. With Oerlikon’s history of creating sustainability solutions for its clients, green thinking is already integral to Oerlikon’s mission. Teams all around the world are intensifying their efforts to bring this perspective to their own workplace, operations and personal conduct.
Tier-1 supplier Unipres presses sheet metal for automotive manufacturers and specialises in high-strength steel pressing, tailored blank welding and hot pressing technology to make components lighter and safer. “We tested lots of different coatings, but none came near the performance of BALINIT FORMERA.” And thus, the company was able to achieve a six-fold increase in productivity in the forming of demanding ultra-high-strength steels.
