Sustainability: the future begins today

Our sustainability strategy is built on the three pillars of Environment, Society, and Entrepreneurship. We strive to ensure that our actions have long-term positive impacts on the environment, contribute to society, and promote entrepreneurial thinking. Through the ESG approach, we pursue a holistic concept to ensure that we achieve not only economic but also environmental and social goals.

Ecological production with ARKU

ARKU is an official partner of the Blue Competence® Initiative and thus, fulfills clearly defined sustainability criteria and standards. We have been consistently following this course for years. For example, this is reflected by our EcoPlan® and FlatMaster®.

ecoplan

EcoPlan®: Energy-efficient drive system for machines and lines

In 2000, the patented EcoPlan® drive system was introduced for coil levelers. Since then, ARKU has consistently continued to develop the machines and equipment to achieve greater performance and energy efficiency.

FlatMaster®: Energy savings with performance-controlled hydraulic pumps

In the past, hydraulic levelers constantly operated at full hydraulic pressure after being switched on. However, this is not energy efficient given that the systems are not in permanent use. That is why ARKU utilizes performance-controlled hydraulic pumps in its FlatMaster®-series. The pumps only require full power during the leveling process. During standby times, the performance is reduced, thereby saving energy. A clever innovation that pays off: in comparison to levelers with uncontrolled hydraulic pumps, the FlatMaster®saves up to 60,000 kWh energy per year. This represents CO2-savings of 36 t.
