AMK wins Arburg Energy Efficiency Award

AMK from Kirchheim/Teck, Germany, was presented with this year’s Arburg Energy Efficiency Award on 12 March 2013. The specialist  in  innovative  drive and control technology earned this prize in a number of ways: not only does AMK use energy-optimised Allrounders in its own injection moulding plant, it also uses them to produce components for servo motors. These, in turn, contribute significantly to the energy efficiency of Arburg’s electric and hybrid machines. Moreover, AMK and Arburg are jointly involved in a strong development partnership in the field of specific electric drives. The Arburg Energy Efficiency Award was brought into being in 2008 and since then has been presented each year to companies which, like Arburg itself, take an innovative, integrated and global approach to the topic of energy efficiency. The list of previous award-winners ranges from Wago and Tyco Electronics, through Wild & Küpfer, to the Lego Group and Continental. The Arburg Energy Efficiency Award 2013 was presented in the context of a gala evening for some 50 invited guests, held at the Arburg headquarters. In keeping with the special occasion, a seven-strong delegation from AMK travelled to Lossburg to receive the award.
