Reduction Of Carbon Emissions

Since 2012 Max Felchlin AG has been a part of the Swiss Energy Agency and is thus committed to an economically viable form of climate protection. The company has set itself binding targets for increasing energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gases. The targets are implemented via defined measures over ten years and the achievement of targets is reviewed annually.

Electricity From Hydropower

Fechlin produces its couvertures and semi-finished products with electricity from 100% hydropower. The 30 kilometre-long Muota that flows directly past our factory is one of the major rivers in the canton of Schwyz. The company ebs Energie AG operates seven hydropower plants along the Muota and provides 12,000 private households in the region as well as Max Felchlin AG with 100% renewable energy.

Heat Recovery

In general, new facilities are built so that heat recovery can be guaranteed. All our roasting equipment is equipped with a heat recovery system, which has made it possible to reduce the energy demand in the roasting process by more than 50%.
