Amid the global push for sustainability, Systemair, a prominent player in ventilation systems, embarks on a transformative journey. Their goal: to enhance the ecological profile of their products and processes. The key to this sustainability evolution lies in a metallic-coated steel, XCarb® recycled and renewably produced Magnelis® from ArcelorMittal Europe Flat Products.
Systemair's pursuit began at the end of 2022 when they sought a more environmentally friendly option for their air handling units, already utilizing Magnelis® with an Easyfilm® coating. The visit of Alberto Solar, Operations Manager, and Julián Galan, Purchasing Manager, to ArcelorMittal's plant in Aviles marked a pivotal moment. Convinced of XCarb® Magnelis®'s superiority, especially its 70% lower CO2 footprint compared to conventional blast furnace production, Systemair Spain swiftly placed their first significant order through ArcelorMittal Downstream Solutions.
The transition to XCarb® recycled Magnelis® proved to be a breeze, thanks to ArcelorMittal's unwavering support. The Easyfilm® coating, offering enhanced protection and performance during forming, complements the eco-friendly steel seamlessly. Albert Solar affirms, "The Systemair team received a lot of support from ArcelorMittal. That included documentation, training, and support from ArcelorMittal’s Global R&D teams as well as the teams from ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products and ArcelorMittal Downstream Solutions. They make life easier for us!"
Julián Galan, Purchasing Manager, adds, "The optimised stock management system employed by ArcelorMittal Downstream Solutions perfectly suits our 'make-to-order' factory." This strategic partnership ensures that Systemair's demand for sheet metal is met accurately, aligning with their production schedule.
Systemair Spain plans to initiate the use of XCarb® recycled and renewably produced Magnelis® in air handling units initially, with future plans to extend this eco-friendly solution across their entire product line. As the world emphasizes sustainable practices, Systemair's commitment, supported by ArcelorMittal's advanced solutions, breathes fresh air into the realm of ventilation systems.
Conclusion:
Systemair's embrace of XCarb® recycled and renewably produced Magnelis® marks a significant step towards sustainable practices in the realm of ventilation systems. With a lower CO2 footprint and unwavering support from ArcelorMittal, this transition reflects not only a commitment to eco-conscious manufacturing but also the seamless integration of advanced, green technologies into everyday production processes. As Systemair pioneers this shift, it sets a noteworthy example for industries seeking a breath of fresh, sustainable air.
