ConMet’s Approach

How We Do It

Integrating Efficiency and Sustainability into Our Innovative Solutions

A relentless pursuit of efficiency and continuous improvement is deeply embedded in our culture, which guides our path toward innovative and sustainable practices. We extend our commitment further by actively supporting our customers in achieving their sustainability goals as we collectively strive for a more environmentally responsible future.

Renewable Energy

Transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources is the most impactful avenue for ConMet to reduce our carbon footprint and promote a greener future.

Manufacturing

A history of continuous improvement and innovation

We employ advanced technologies to optimize production efficiency, reduce waste, minimize energy use, decrease our carbon footprint, resulting in the highest quality products that are responsibly made.

Examples

Manufacturing Execution System

Our digital MES platform offers transparent, reliable information across all manufacturing operations, empowering teams to make real-time data-driven decisions, resulting in significant operational improvements and overall efficiency gains.

Autonomous Guided Vehicles

AGVs are battery-operated, mobile robots that operate without direct human control or intervention, offering a cleaner, safer, more efficient alternative to conventional gas-powered forklifts in ConMet’s manufacturing facilities.

Smart Natural Gas Meters

We’ve installed intelligent natural gas meters on our furnaces to monitor usage and utilize the data for optimizing process efficiency.

Additive Manufacturing

We’ve integrated additive manufacturing (3D printing) into our processes, reducing material waste and enhancing productivity.

Air Compressor Control Systems

Incorporating Air Compressor control systems has minimized unnecessary air flow consumption, a significant contributor to our overall electricity use.

ISO 14001 Certified

All ConMet plants across the globe are ISO 14001 Environmental Management System certified. This helps ensure we are taking the right measures to minimize our environmental footprint.

Waste Reduction

Returnable Packaging Program

ConMet has dramatically reduced our packaging waste by adopting a robust, returnable alternative to single-use wooden pallets. The shift reduces waste, conserves resources, addresses deforestation concerns, and enhances safety by reducing injuries and unit instability.

We’ve made tremendous progress since 2021 in our Returnable Packaging programs:
