Driving Green Technologies
E3
As part of the EBNER GROUP, Gautschi actively contributes to the Group’s sustainability journey. We fully align with the E3 Sustainability Program and share the conviction that the future of our industry depends on our ability to innovate responsibly and act with environmental and social awareness.
The E3 Sustainability Program focuses on three pillars: ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT and EVOLUTION.
ENERGY is at the core of our business. Together with the EBNER GROUP, we continuously develop energy-efficient technologies, including new heating and burner concepts. In doing so, we support our customers in improving the efficiency of their industrial processes.
Under ENVIRONMENT, we develop solutions that improve industrial efficiency while reducing emissions, waste, and resource consumption through advanced technologies.
EVOLUTION means integrating sustainability into our strategy, strengthening governance, and fostering people-centered growth with equal opportunities for all employees.

E3 Technology in our Gautschi facilities
The following Gautschi solutions and facilities support the EBNER GROUP’s E³ focus areas of ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT, and EVOLUTION by combining innovative technologies with efficient and responsible operations.
Efficiency and saving
Energy
Aluminum Recycling Process
- Melting is at the heart of the aluminum cycle.
- Recycling one kilogram of aluminum results in an almost 95% lower carbon footprint compared to producing one kilogram of primary aluminum.
About 75% of all aluminum products ever produced are still in use today, including car and airplane parts, window profiles, and packaging materials. Around 35% of the aluminum produced annually is recycled secondary aluminum from scrap.
Industrial and post-consumer scrap is collected, processed, and, where necessary, mixed with primary aluminum to produce alloys suitable for new components in the transport, construction, and packaging industries.
