As a family-owned company with headquarters in the middle of the Bavarian Forest, the topic of sustainability is particularly close to our hearts. Sustainability is a state of mind. Therefore, it concerns all areas, from production to the company building to the behavior of each individual. We at AVS Römer show responsibility for people and the environment and are constantly working on further developments and new solutions.
We make full and sensible use of residual energy in production. To this end, we have invested and equipped all production areas with heat recovery and hydraulic cooling systems. Our energy recycling capability is now at the highest level. This has a positive impact on our energy consumption, our CO2 footprint and our costs.
Sustainable, environmentally and climate-friendly heating and cooling
A combination of ice storage, heat pump and photovoltaic systems solves this challenge. The ice storage principle uses crystallization energy or latent heat, which is created when water freezes into ice. Heat pumps draw thermal energy from the storage tank and ice forms. The heat or energy generated is used for heating. Waste heat from the processes thaws the ice again in regeneration mode. The process can be repeated as often as required. At the end of the heating period, ice is formed specifically for cooling the building in summer.
High in-house production depth
We manufacture the components plastic body, steel claws and the piece sleeve made of brass on site. Only the O-rings are supplied. This avoids countless trips by suppliers. Raw materials are stored with foresight. In the case of necessary travel routes, we optimize them as far as possible, taking ecological aspects into account.
Use of pendulum tanks
To avoid waste, we use so-called shuttle containers in shipping wherever possible. In doing so, we provide our suppliers with reusable containers. We also pay attention to conserving resources in other ways during storage. For example, we switched from plastic to paper in temporary storage.
Pollutant-free production and products
During the processing of raw materials, such as aluminum, plastic, brass or stainless steel, any pollutants produced are completely captured by filter systems. Our certified German disposal partner then recycles them in an environmentally friendly manner and returns them to the recycling chain down to the smallest chip.
We live sustainability
Energy efficient thanks to photovoltaic system: We have our own photovoltaic system at our company headquarters in Grafenau and our site in Langenberg. With these, we already generate part of the electricity we need.
Reduced CO₂ emissions: Every year, we reduce CO₂ emissions in production through various measures.
We promote e-mobility: Employees and visitors can charge their electric vehicles free of charge at four electric charging stations on the company premises.
More space for flora and fauna: We have planted over 120 trees and 250 shrubs on the company’s property. Created habitats provide perfect retreats for insects, small rodents and lizards.
