Setup of AICON's photovoltaic system

Braunschweig/Germany, 11 January 2011 – Not only does AICON go for technological progress. Equally important to the company is a responsible approach to the environment. As the use of renewable energies plays an important role, AICON has just setup an own photovoltaic system.

The system covers a roof area of 850m² and is installed on the roofs of AICON’s two headquarter buildings. It comprises 344 solar modules that convert solar energy into electricity.

“We intent to generate 32.690 KWh per year with our photovoltaic system”, explains Dr.-Ing. Carl-Thomas Schneider, president of AICON 3D Systems. “This would cover about 50% of our own power demands. Actually, also in the past years, we have used green electricity for our company buildings. However, now by setting up our own photovoltaic system, we are able to make an active contribution to the expansion of renewable energies.”

AICON’s environmental commitment goes beyond the generation of power though. Step by step, AICON examines all company divisions and checks whether operations can be done in a more sustainable way.

As an example, AICON has planned to reduce the CO2 emissions of the company cars significantly. “Our goal is an average fleet fuel consumption below 5 liters” affirms Dr. Schneider. “Therefore, we only acquire very fuel-efficient company vehicles.”

Thus, AICON proofs that a responsible approach to the environment and modern business management go together very well.
