Cortec is already able to achieve savings from energy costs as high as 97%.
CorteCros®, the daughter company of Cortec® Corporation specialised in the manufacturing of corrosion protection solutions, has recently announced that its production site in Split (Croatia) is almost fully solar powered. The company is now able achieve savings from energy costs as high as 97%.
The site is located in Dalmatia, a Croatian coastal region that offers maximum sun exposure. In order to face the increasing energy prices and develop a more sustainable activity, the company decided to install solar panels during October 2022, thus collecting clean renewable energy from the sun and converting it into electrical energy to power the facility and its logistics centre.
The green transition towards a carbon neutral plant and the adjustment to the energy resources of CorteCros are of huge importance for Cortec. As it is the main production and distribution point in Europe for its chemical corrosion protection solutions, the company has recently expanded the production and storage capacity of the site.
“Since the global climate change is progressing, it has become more important that we do whatever we can to reduce the pressure on our atmosphere from the emission of greenhouse gases. Solar panels have no moving parts, require little maintenance and last for decades. This green project is another step towards our full commitment to sustainable corrosion protection technologies” has stated Boris Miksic, the CEO and owner of Cortec.
