  Sustainability  

 

 

At Premier Tech Industrial Equipment Group (PT IEG), sustainable development is a constant concern. The team at PT IEG believes that the preservation and intelligent use of natural resources are social responsibilities that every corporate citizen should assume.

 

This is why sustainability is an everyday issue in all of PT IEG’s activities. The company has taken eco-friendly measures with regard to its manufacturing processes, power consumption, and raw material management.

 

Innovation Investments


Every year, over 5% of PT IEG's sales are reinvested in Innovation, Research and Development (IR&D). This has allowed PT IEG to design new products and achieve many technological advances. In the last few years, the companys efforts have been focused on developing innovative eco-friendly technologies. For example, PT IEG designed packaging systems that use thinner plastic film or bags, thus allowing customers to gain a competitive edge while reducing their consumption of packaging materials.

 

Lean Philosophy

 

PT IEG has implemented Lean Manufacturing in all of its plants. This production practice reduces costs and manufacturing time in addition to eliminating most non-value-added operations. It also allows reducing movements of both parts and team members to a minimum. In addition, PT IEG minimizes the use of both electric and propane lift trucks and additional lifting equipment such as bridge cranes.


PT IEG has adopted state-of-the-art Lean Design techniques that reduce to a minimum the number of parts needed to assemble the equipment. These techniques also favor bolted assemblies, thus reducing welding operations. This sustainable approach has allowed PT IEG to significantly improve its team members work environment by lowering emissions of dust and welding gas. In addition, the manufacturing process uses less electrical power.



  

PT IEG has modernized its manufacturing lines through the acquisition of a sheet metal cell featuring a laser cutting table and a CNC press brake. This cell has allowed PT IEG to optimize its steel consumption and thus improve the quality of its parts and equipment while reducing the risk of accidents resulting from handling heavy or cumbersome parts.

 

Reduction of Equipment’s Power Consumption

 

Use of pneumatic and electrical circuits that require a minimal amount of compressed air and electrical power


Equipment switches to a low-power sleep mode during periods of extended inactivity


Plants and Buildings

 

Batteries, copper, paint containers, and steel waste are recovered


Waste heat from compressors is captured and reused in order to reduce power consumption in the plants


Paper and cardboard packaging is recycled


Waste liquid is recovered


Facilities are built in accordance with the principles of energy efficiency (e.g., installing light control systems)

By taking these small day-to-day steps and promoting eco-friendly initiatives, PT IEG contributes to the global movement towards a greener economy and, accordingly, to the well-being of current and future generations.

 

PT IEG regards sustainable development not only as a fundamental social responsibility, but also as an opportunity to consolidate its leadership and develop the technologies of the future. The company’s environmental awareness prompts it to reduce its ecological footprint while constantly improving its efficiency, creativity, and competitiveness. In other words, the green actions taken by PT IEG contribute to achieving sustainable development both within the company and in the communities in which it operates.
