Technology with responsibility

Sustainable manufacturing in mechanical engineering – more than saving energy.

Mechanical engineering is caught between technological innovation and ecological responsibility.

For IWK, this means reconciling increased efficiency and resource conservation. Rising energy prices, CO₂ reduction targets and requirements for sustainable supply chains require holistic production concepts – from design to commissioning.

Conscious production

Sustainability as part of the
of production

Our production in Stutensee is certified according to ISO 9001 and follows a clear principle: Every machine we build should work more efficiently than its predecessor.

To achieve this, IWK relies on:

  • Energy-optimized manufacturing processes and building infrastructure
  • Consistent use of reusable systems and recycling cycles
  • Regional supply chains with verified partners
  • Digital production planning with resource evaluation
  • Predictive maintenance to extend machine life

These measures ensure quality, reduce CO₂ emissions and strengthen responsibility towards the environment and society.

Technology that saves

Efficient. Intelligent. Resource-saving.

  • Energy-optimized system control: Automated systems analyze consumption and process data in real time.
  • Heat recovery: Use of process heat from production and test bays.
  • Durable components: Reduced spare parts cycles, higher availability.
  • Digital process control: Paperless production with real-time data and a digital audit and documentation chain.
  • Recycling-oriented production: Material separation and return via certified partners.

Working together

Responsibility as part of the system.

At IWK, sustainability does not end at the factory floor. Our production is part of the ESG strategy of ATS Corporation and is integrated into the group-wide EcoVadis certification.

Focus:

  • CO₂ reduction: -22% Scope 2 emissions since 2021
  • Renewable energies: 100% green electricity in production
  • Sustainable Supply Chain: Audits and transparency via the ATS Supplier Code of Conduct
  • Social responsibility: Empowering employees through ESG training programs

These measures form the basis for energy-efficient, future-proof production – and for packaging systems that make sustainability measurable.

Impact across borders

Sustainability that works in all industries
