Diehl Brass Solutions has set itself the goal of further expanding its sustainability activities. By using renewable energy sources, Diehl Brass Solutions is already achieving more climate-friendly production. The use of green electricity and heat recovery play a key role in this. With photovoltaics (PV) on the hall roofs, green electricity is to be generated and used specifically for the energy-intensive operation. The first PV systems will be installed this year.
