Achieving of sustainable growth and competitiveness at LGRP Ltd. by investing in energy-efficient equipment and introduction to ISO 50001:2011

LGRP Ltd. was established in 2004 as a factory producing shoulder pads. Now, through intermediaries, the company produces women’s clothing for big global brands. The company’s main priorities are product quality, high productivity, and environmental responsibility. In line with these values, the company is planning to invest in new energy-efficient sewing and auxiliary equipment in order to reduce its production expenses, achieve higher productivity and limit the negative environmental impact. The sewing machines which are planned to be purchased, as well as the electric hoister, will replace the existing machines, which are obsolete, not efficient enough, and consume too much energy. The new sewing machines will also be able to use recycled materials, which will allow the company to extend its product range and will contribute to environmental protection. Implementing high-tech and energy-saving equipment, LGRP Ltd. will improve the quality of the products offered and will achieve annual energy savings of 446 205 kWh/year. The planned energy savings will reach 80.8%, with an energy savings factor (ESR) of 81.5%.CO2 emissions will be also reduced by 365.442 tons/year. As part of the system, an energy management system will be developed and implemented as per the requirements of Standard BSS EN ISO 50001:2011, which will provide a strategic framework for the monitoring, management and control of the company’s energy resources. The certification will be done by a leading certification organization. The successful implementation of the activities planned under this project will lead to the following results: - increased energy efficiency and reduces production costs per unit produced; - more resource-efficient and environmentally-friendly production processes at LGRP Ltd.; - enhanced capacity and quality of the items produced.
