Environmental sustainability

For M.G.M. Motori Elettrici sustainable development and respect for the environment have always been very important goals.

In the Serravalle Pistoiese plant almost 100% of the electricity consumed is produced by the photovoltaic panels placed on the roof. At the beginning of 2024 a further expansion of the power of the photovoltaic system was carried out so as to facilitate the transition of company vehicles from combustion motors to electric ones.

The air conditioning of the building is supported by a geothermal system that allows significant energy savings both during the winter and the summer, by exchanging heat with the ground at a high depth.

The company has also worked on the production cycle by operating on the systems, the insulation of the buildings, the lighting system to achieve a greater energy efficiency.

Important actions were also made to reduce the consumption of drinkable water by resorting the collection of rainwater and by recycling condensate water that is used for the lubricating and cooling liquids of machine tools.

Thanks to the inclusion of drinkable water vending machine it was possible to eliminate the use of plastic water bottles, which have been conveniently located in the various departments of the plant.

The mechanical processing waste is separately collected and delivered to the waste collection centers which will send it to the recycling foundries.

The use of separate waste collection has been increasingly promoted. By rethinking and redesing the material and the production process, M.G.M. Motori Elettrici has reduced the energy required to make brake motors with a consequent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The energy efficiency of the motors and of the brakes has been improved. We preferred using eco-friendly material with low impact on the environment and we eliminate the use of plastic by using recycled cardboard.
