Jury convinced by ARaymond environmental guidelines

Since 2008, Arburg has annually bestowed this award to companies for outstanding activities in the field of energy efficiency. The winner for 2015 is ARaymond, one of the world’s market leaders in clip fasteners for the automotive industry. Based on internal environmental guidelines, the French family-owned company promotes environmental protection in all 37 of its independent affiliates. In a move designed to reduce energy requirements, for example, the company invests primarily in electric and hybrid injection moulding machines, adding in 2014 also a Freeformer for additive manufacturing.
On Tuesday 10 March 2015 the award was officially presented at an event with some 40 invited guests at the Arburg headquarters in Lossburg.
“We have enjoyed a very fruitful partnership with ARaymond over a number of decades and decided to bestow the award to the company based on their many activities around the globe. Since 2011, internal environmental guidelines have been in force at the company for all of its 37 affiliates”, explained Helmut Heinson, Arburg managing director sales during his presentation speech. For Antoine Raymond, CEO of the ARaymond network and great-great-grandson of the company founder, this is a further incentive: “The Arburg Energy Efficiency Award 2015 represents important and encouraging recognition of the implementation of our global energy efficiency targets”.
