Sustainability is the Standard
PEM® Europe's commitment to sustainability and protecting our environment is reflected in the many efforts we practice every day:
- PEM® Europe recognises the need for a circular economy and aims to deliver fastening solutions that enable our customers to develop products that can be shared, reused, or repaired for as long as possible.
- PEM® Europe supports the right to repair by providing product ranges that enable safe product disassembly and re-assembly.
- The in-house management of most PEM® Europe capabilities ensures we are not shipping products around the world for secondary/post-production operations.
- With a manufacturing facility in Galway, Ireland, we manufacture our products near our European client locations to reduce the carbon footprint of product shipping.
- We source our materials close to our manufacturing locations to reduce the carbon footprint of material shipping.
- We support our customers in their efforts to produce products with a small carbon footprint by developing long-lasting, functional products and energy-saving installation methods that limit the use of natural resources and energy production.
- The shipment and delivery of customer orders is carefully planned to be both energy and cost efficient.
- Production lines are run according to Lean Manufacturing procedures, so electric energy and other valuable resources are not wasted.
- Our manufacturing equipment is maintained to prevent accidental energy loss and ensure the highest level of energy efficiency.
- We do not use leaded steel in screw machine production.
- We protect workers and ensure better air quality in comparison to welding methods.
- We educate and encourage our workers to make sustainable choices.
- We reuse, recycle, and regenerate production oil.
- Our in-house Research & Design capabilities allow us to avoid outsourcing testing and analysis.
- We’re committed to delivering technology that physically supports devices running smart cities.
