MICOR TOOLING LAUNCHES, TOGETHER WITH LSAB, THE WORLD’S GREENEST BANDSAW BLADE
Micor Tooling is now launching, together with LSAB the world’s greenest bandsaw blade for industrial use – Langshyttan GreenCut. Over the past few years, Micor Tooling has been actively working to limit the environmental impact from its own production through energy-efficient investments and conversion to renewable energy only.
At the same time, Micor Tooling continuously works with suppliers to find and develop more sustainable input materials. Micor Tooling has a long-standing collaboration with voestalpine Precision Strip GmbH and in conjunction with the launch of Uddeholm strip with a significantly reduced CO2 footprint, Micor Tooling is now the first in the world to offer a greener alternative.
Marcus Wärring, CEO of Micor Tooling, comments:
“Sustainability is very important to us, and we are therefore very proud to be able to launch a product with significantly lower environmental impact, but with the same high performance as our standard range.”
Martin Andersson, CEO of LSAB, adds:
“For us at LSAB, this is of course very good news. We help sawmills daily to optimize their production. Wood is a renewable material, and now being able to offer our customers tools with a significantly reduced CO2 footprint is a natural step for the leading supplier in the Nordics. This, together with our circular service offering, is a major step for us and our customers. Through Langshyttan GreenCut, we see great potential given the significant environmental awareness that exists/should exist among large sawmill corporations in the Nordics.”
The new band material fromUddeholm together with Micor Toolings production, which only uses renewable energy, creates the opportunity to launch a band saw blade with heavily reduced environmental footprint.
