Genelec Opens Eco-Conscious Factory
Expansion
Genelec has opened a new extension to its factory in Iisalmi,
Finland. Utilizing the latest technologies, the company says the
extension will significantly increase the space, flexibility, and
efficiency of its warehousing and logistics operations, while
ensuring that the entire facility is now powered exclusively by
sustainable sources, including solar, wind, and hydroelectric
energy.
The factory moved from oil to a combination of wind and
hydroelectric energy supply many years ago, and the new
extension now brings solar energy to the mix courtesy of over
450 roof-mounted solar panels, which will supply 30 per cent of
Genelec’s annual power. The expansion project provides almost
2,000-sq.-m of floor space for warehousing and logistics alone,
with considerable additional space for customer support offices, a
centralized automation control centre, and efficient waste processing. The expansion also enables consolidation of Genelec’s external ware-
houses, offering further improvements in the efficiency of material flow, lean manufacturing, and reductions in waste and power consumption.
