Pormade, the largest door company in the civil construction sector in Brazil, invested in renewable energy in its operations. With this, the company aims to transform its entire industry into 100% sustainable, contributing to the environment and business economy.

On Tuesday (26/07), the industry Pormade announced that it will invest in clean energy for its operations, aiming to transform the entire company into sustainable in its entirety. The company has directed a large amount towards the application of all renewable energy plant in its industry.

Pormade aims to reduce its emission of greenhouse gases

In this sense, Pormade, the largest door manufacturing industry in the country, since the beginning of the year 2000, does not use any type of wood that does not come from renewable forests, therefore, all the raw material used by the company comes from sheets mechanically processed.

Pormade has a planted area of ​​520 hectares for this purpose, and has now decided to invest heavily in the generation of clean energy to make the company increasingly sustainable and reduce the company's greenhouse gas emissions.

According to an introductory study by Pormade, it was confirmed that the initial deployment of just 2.400 slabs would already be able to generate 20% of the factory's daily consumption, with the excess being generated on Saturdays and Sundays, when the industry is not operating and, thus, reducing the pressure exerted on hydroelectric plants. Currently, around 3.200 panels have already been installed and the expectation is to end the year with a total of 10 photovoltaic panels in operation.

“The photovoltaic panels will be present throughout the complex, covering the manufacturing and administrative areas. Our project includes the installation of a plant with a generation capacity of 5 MW”, says Claudio Zini, CEO of Pormade. The total investment made to carry out the project was R$ 24 million and is focused on transforming Pormade into a 100% sustainable company by the end of the decade.

Being a fully digitized and sustainable industry is the main focus

Thus, for this to happen, the company continues to invest in several fronts, such as the purchase of a new painting line. The new line allows manufacture of doors with woody finishes, but without using wooden veneers, aiming even more at the company's sustainability and digitality.

In addition, there is a concern to avoid processes where the paint is sprayed, giving preference to application processes with roller brushes, avoiding the dispersion of the product in the environment.

To further expand the digital transformation process, the industry will also have, in the coming months, a software development team with more than 50 programmers and will also invest in new painting equipment: “Technology, innovation and sustainability go hand in hand . Our investments are focused on equipment, but, above all, on people”, stresses Zini.

The company Pormade Portas is one of the largest door industries in the country and has been in the market for years, ensuring sustainability and quality in all its operations. The company has large areas of planted forests and also a complete industrial park with 102 m² built and the company controls all production. It is this structure that allows the company to have one of the best quality standards in South America.

With a turnover of BRL 2021 million in 300, Pormade also invests in people and products as a competitive strategy. As for 2022, the company plans to close with an increase of around 25% in business.
