Environmentally friendly energy-saving facilities at the Asahi Plant

In recent years, Takamatsu Machinery has been focusing on product development and achievement of SDGs to realize “a sustainable society”. The Asahi Plant is fully equipped with energy-saving and SDGs-friendly facilities, based on the concept of "a factory that is friendly to both people and the environment”.

【Example of energy saving measures at the Asahi Plant】
・Advanced energy-saving air conditioning system using well water "Pre-cool/Pre-heat System"
An air conditioning system that utilizes fresh outdoor air from a well with a stable temperature throughout the year. The system efficiently produces a "pre-cooling effect" in summer and a "pre-heating effect" in winter, resulting in annual energy savings of approximately 350MWh.
