The German Ministry for the Environment and Nature Protection (BMU) as well as the German Investment and Development Company (DEG) accompanied and subsidized this project. The Ministry supports projects which serve to spread climate-friendly technologies in developing coun-tries and emerging markets.

This project is intended to sensitize the decision-makers in producing companies and to train the qualified personnel. In the framework of this project we planned and built a mobile heat-recovery unit. This mobile heat-recovery unit has been in-stalled for the first time at our customer Arvind Ltd. in Ahmedabad, India.

The unit was several weeks in operation, the energy savings have been recorded and documented. At the same time, we used the opportunity to train the operators regarding the optimum production sequence and possible optimization potentials. As support for this first test phase we made a symposium in Ahmedabad for other interested companies.

By and by we installed the mobile unit at a total of nine Indian companies to convince them of possible energy savings but also of the CO2 reduction in the production. At five symposiums in different Indian sites we re-ported about the project and about the successes achieved up to that moment. It is a great joy for us that Arvind Ltd. decided in the meantime to buy a new BRÜCKNER machine due to the successful realization of our development project.

Arvind Ltd. has been founded in 1931 and is today one of the world’s leading garment manufacturers. Right from the beginning Arvind Ltd. invested in the most modern BRÜCKNER machinery technology “made in Germany” in order to be al-ways state-of-the-art under ecological and economical aspects and to supply high-end fabric in best quality.

This strategy helped the company to be successful mainly in economically bad years. Arvind Ltd. in India will install shortly their ninth BRÜCKNER machine. With a highly-efficient heat-recovery unit Arvind Ltd. can reach significant energy savings depending on the respective process. These savings lead to a sustainable reduction of the CO2 emissions and make a valuable contribution to the protection of the environment. Arvind Ltd. produces fabrics for Lee, Wrangler, Arrow, Tommy Hilfinger and many more.
