Jul 31, 2013. /Lesprom Network/. The careful and responsible use of energy has long been an important part of the Drewsen Spezialpapiere GmbH & Co. KG corporate policy that extends to all departments and employees. Although in recent years, various energy conservation measures have been successfully implemented, the company decided to approach the diverse activities of energy efficiency in a more consistent and systematic way. Through the introduction of an energy management system in line with ISO 50001, continuous improvements in energy performance, efficiency and cost reductions can be achieved, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network. 

"In building the system, we were able to draw upon a wide range of existing and effective processes in addition to measurable performance targets that enabled us to deliver a system which would gain accreditation within a few months,” says the head of Engineering Dr. Ludger Benien.

Our energy management system was audited by the certification company (DQS) in May 2013, and following successful completion of the inspection we were awarded the ISO 50001 certificate," Dr. Ludger Benien added.

The current certificate is valid until May 21, 2016.

Drewsen Spezialpapiere is a manufacturer of a range of uncoated, wood-free speciality paper. Each year 400 employees produce 170,000 tons of speciality paper using 3 paper machines at the production and administrative site in Lachendorf, Germany.
