German drive specialist Flender announced that it has once again been awarded the platinum medal by EcoVadis, the world’s most renowned provider of sustainability ratings for companies. Flender remains in the top one percent of companies rated by EcoVadis.

With the International German Sustainability Award (IDNP), Wilo and the German Sustainability Award Foundation have recognised innovative business partnership for a second time. The award honours partnerships between organisations of the Global North and South which make a significant contribution to sustainability with environmental and efficiency technology.

The scene in the Flender hardening shop is spectacular: flames several meters high leap out of a cooling basin and light up the dark walls of the hall. Just seconds earlier, an employee used a crane to lift several red-hot gears from a hardening furnace into the basin. The gearbox components, heated to 840 degrees Celsius, are plunged into an oil bath.

In this article, Europump President, Luboš Michlík, highlights the vital role of pumps in powering the drive for a sustainable future.
