At Lichtgitter, we attach great importance to reducing our carbon footprint. By using photovoltaic (PV) systems, alternative energies such as combined heat and power (CHP) plants and energy-efficient refurbishment of our halls, we actively contribute to environmental protection. The materials and surfaces we use, such as galvanized steel, not only offer long-lasting corrosion protection, but are also recyclable, which further supports our sustainability goals. Find out more about our environmental measures and their benefits for our products and locations.
Due to the energy-intensive processes at our company and in our value chain, we strive to use and further expand alternative energy sources. For example, some galvanizing plants operate combined heat and power plants to increase energy efficiency. In recent years, we have also further increased the proportion of our own renewable energies and equipped our hall and office roofs with photovoltaic systems at various locations. By the end of 2025, we had already installed systems with a total output of more than 2,000 kWp in the Lichtgitter Group – and the trend is rising. This could produce almost 2,500 MWh of electricity in 2024, which is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of around 700 households. Or to put it another way: with this amount of electricity, an electric car could drive around the world almost 340 times!
We are focusing on more sustainable materials for the future. We have already signed a letter of intent with thyssenkrupp Steel for the supply of CO2-reduced steel, known as #bluemint® steel, so that we can offer our customers Gratings made from more climate-friendly steel. We also already have suppliers who produce CO2-reduced zinc so that we can also use more sustainable materials in the galvanizing process.
