Corporate Social Responsibility

Energy-saving products

DMG MORI SEIKI is co-initiator of the VDW Blue Competence initiative. This initiative of the Association of German Machine Tool is to reduce the energy demand of production machines in Europe. To meet specific environmental criteria is a prerequisite for membership in the initiative. Measures to increase energy efficiency; Gildemeister the label DMG ENERGY SAVING. They extend holistically on the areas of electronics, control engineering and mechanics. The combination of increased productivity and energy optimization enables energy savings of up to 30%.

Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions

In addition to the careful use of resources Gildemeister developed regenerative drives for machine tools, so that the braking energy for subsequent acceleration processes can be reused. The thermally optimized cabinet design eliminates additional energy consumption for cooling. In addition to low-friction roller bearing guides compensate for weight offsets on the axes vertically moving masses. Both measures reduce the necessary acceleration forces, and thus the energy consumption.

Sustainable enterprise safety

All DMG MORI SEIKI - board members were employed prior to their appointment to senior positions within the Group, some of them have already completed their training at Gildemeister. In comparison to other listed companies this personal continuity is high at the top of the company, and thus a specific feature of sustainability. In 2012, the average term of office of a board of a German stock corporation was 5.5 years, while the average length of a CEO was 5.4 years. Rüdiger Kapitza was appointed to the Board of Gildemeister in 1992, since April 1996 he has been Chairman of the Board.

New energy concepts and systems

At the Bielefeld site exists since 2012 a holistic energy concept that the current costs for various divisions of the company reduced by 25 %, including for the hall lighting, air conditioning and the compressors in production. A key component of the concept is to locally produce the energy itself, to store and use. The " energy solutions Park " consists of 86 SunCarriers 22, 13 SunCarriers 250 and four WindCarrier. They produce no emissions annually about 1 gigawatt -hour of electricity; This reduces the CO ² emissions by about 560 tons per year. The core is also the energy storage CellCube FB 200-400 with a storage capacity of 400 kilowatt-hours. The parallel connection of several units of the container CellCube FB 200-400 realizes the simple design of energy storage in the megawatt range. At five production sites Gildemeister SunCarriers has installed for the environmentally friendly energy. In 2013, approximately 1.43 million kilowatt hours should thus generates electricity with zero emissions and 800 tons of CO ² emissions can be avoided. This calculation is based on the average CO ² emissions of 559 grams per kilowatt hour, as calculated by the Federal Environment Agency for the year 2011 in Germany.
