Stoll partners VDMA's "Blue Competence" initiative

These measures are just a few examples of how the company has demonstrated its commitment to "Blue Competence." Because sustainability is so important at the economic, political and social levels, it has become an inherent factor in how the company as a whole is managed. Awareness in the textile machine manufacturing industry is shifting toward higher resource conservation and efficiency improvement. Also corporate social responsibility as a company value has become more critical than ever.

STOLL is confronting these challenges and believes that its most urgent task is to find a harmonious balance between humans and nature. In addition to environmental protection, the company intends for these measures to improve the quality of life of its employees and enable them to work more efficiently. These goals will be gradually implemented with the help of newly developed technologies. Now that it has partnered with "Blue Competence," STOLL is working harder on this issue more than ever.

Here are a few of the benefits of STOLL's sustainability measures:

- 20% less energy waste in the fabric take-down mechanism

- Lower power losses in the form of heat generated in the motor increases the service life.

- Highest possible energy efficiency for production hall lighting

- Because the new lights are smaller in size, they were installed to give machine operators better lighting, which also has had ergonomic benefits for them.

- The long service life conserves raw materials and the environment.

- Switching out light bulbs is no longer necessary, no disposal as special waste.
