In 2023, Promat completed a major investment at our Italian plant into our production of intumescent material making it greener, safer, and more efficient.

Steel production, nowadays, takes revolutionary steps towards the „greener future “. In the traditional approach, the journey begins with iron ore and coal, with the former being transformed into pig iron in blast furnaces, and the latter turned into coke in coke oven batteries. This is followed by melting in Basic Oxygen Furnaces (BOFs), a process known for its high energy consumption and substantial carbon emissions. To address these issues, there is a growing shift towards Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs) in steelmaking.

We’re excited to announce that we will be participating at this year’s International Congress for Battery Recycling (ICBR) in Valencia, Spain from September 6-8.

To face our world’s critical needs for sustainable and qualitative living spaces, global building material manufacturer and pioneer in lightweight construction Etex further pledges to be an agent of change in the sustainable building sector. Next to its intrinsically sustainable portfolio, Etex is doing more by setting clear ambitions for the next eight years across five priority areas: health, safety and well-being; decarbonisation; circularity; diversity, equity, and inclusion; and customer engagement.

As part of the Etex Group, Promat is investing more and more in sustainable technologies to reduce our impact on the environment and the climate. One such investment was the installation of photovoltaic panels on the roof of the Promat factory in Filago, Italy in the spring of this year. The panels cover a total area of about 3,170 m² and will produce up to 818,856 kWh of solar energy per year.

Wings of the Ocean – the non-profit association that owns the Kraken – has recently taken delivery of over 70 PLURATECT® MARINE LIGHT bonded boards as part of a major refit of their 42 meter vessel. “It’s a really big contribution”, says Julie Baudillon, the Executive Director of Wings of the Ocean. “Commercial donations are very important for us, as we’re a small NGO and without these donations we wouldn’t be able to operate.”
