– We want to develop environmentally friendly and energy-efficient products, says Trög. The digital motion control solutions developed by the company help to significantly reduce emissions and the environmental burden of heavy-duty mobile machinery.
In the newly completed production plant, environmental issues have been taken into account. The solar cells on the roof of the building are used for energy production and the waste heat generated by the production is recycled.
According to Trög, the goal is to minimize the burden on the environment in all operations. A certified environmental management system monitors how materials are recycled and waste is reduced.
“We are an industrial operator and an important employer in Rovaniemi on a regional level. We want our work safety to be at the highest level and also to develop as a workplace”, says Trög.
“The Entrepreneur Award means a lot to me as an entrepreneur, but it also belongs to the business, the employees and the stakeholders. I consider the award an honorable mention to our entire network,” says Trög.
