Collaborating for Energy Efficiency & Climate Action
A&E Gütermann has become a member of the “Energy, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energies” network, which aims to make a significant contribution to the climate and energy policy goals of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Gutach, July 01, 2024 – How can companies significantly improve their energy efficiency and reduce both energy consumption and costs? Networking is an effective way of doing this. Networking is an effective way of doing this. Sharing knowledge, gathering experience, networking with experts, forming cooperations and exploiting synergies. There are 13 networks in Germany. Their members (a total of 42 companies) work together intensively over a period of at least two years to increase energy efficiency in their companies. One of the goals is to derive measures from the joint work to noticeably reduce energy consumption. A&E Gütermann is a member of the Sustainability Network: Energy, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energies.
The network is supported by various federal ministries, associations, organizations and companies. In addition to increasing energy efficiency in industry, trade, commerce and the energy sector, the focus is on climate protection, energy transition and sustainability. By the end of 2025, 300 to 350 new networks will be created with the goal of saving nine to 11 terawatt hours of energy and five to six million tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
Added Value for Businesses
On average, these networks consist of eight to 15 companies that come together for two to three years and set common savings targets. Members support each other in implementing efficiency measures and benefit from a lively exchange of best practices. The implementation of the agreement is accompanied by annual voluntary monitoring.
A&E Gütermann benefits from its participation in many ways, including:
- Pooling of expertise and resources
- Utilization of government funding programs
- Gaining energy and environmental expertise within the company
- Creation of targeted sustainability measures for energy efficiency and climate protection
- Significantly reducing energy costs
- Strengthen competitiveness
- Professional support from moderators and qualified energy consultants
Sustainability Projects at A&E Gütermann
Concrete measures are underway at A&E Gütermann. The existing compressor station is currently being modernized and converted to a new 6.5 bar system which uses around 50% less energy than the old system. This will save approximately 250,000 kWh per year and reduce maintenance and repair costs.
Another recent initiative is the installation of a photovoltaic system on the roof of our Dyed Goods Warehouse with an output of 99.99 kWp. The plan is to provide 100 % of our own energy needs, and at 0.41 kg of emissions per 1 kWh of electricity, this will save approximately 40.00 tons of emissions per year.
The future project “Boiler Room Energy/Steam/Hot Water Supply” has been initiated. The aim is to reduce CO2 and use more environmentally friendly energy.
The investments are in line with Elevate’s company-wide goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Energy and GHG reduction investments are a legal requirement, must be verified and will also be relevant for ISO 50001 certification.

Trade fair report h+h 2024
h+h, the leading international trade fair for handicrafts and hobbies, took place in Cologne from March 22 – 24, 2024 under the motto “Creative Empowerment”.
The world’s largest spectrum of products, innovations and trends in sewing, crocheting, knitting, embroidery and handicrafts was presented to specialist retailers from all over the world.
The figures confirm a successful trade fair weekend: around 12,000 visitors from 78 countries attended h+h in Cologne. They were not only inspired by 300 exhibitors from 40 countries, but also by the new zone concept of h+h, which focused primarily on the transfer of knowledge on business-relevant aspects.
A&E Gütermann was once again represented at this year’s h+h cologne with the consumer brand Gütermann creativ. The exhibition stand was redesigned for this purpose. The result was an open exhibition stand with bright colors to perfectly showcase the Gütermann creativ products. The extremely positive reactions confirmed the success of the new concept.
The wide range of products was clearly presented in different areas. There were different sections for the Gütermann creativ products, divided into themes.
In addition to the existing range, new products were also presented. The focus was on the new, innovative Outdoor 40 sewing thread and the Cute and Pink Limited Edition sewing thread sets.
Outdoor 40 is the sewing thread for hobby sewers for outdoor applications. In addition to its particularly high tear and abrasion resistance, it is also highly UV-resistant. As a result, Outdoor 40 retains its color fastness and withstands environmental and weather conditions for a long time.
The five sets of the Limited Edition Cute and Pink pick up on the trend color pink and consist of different combinations of our Sew-all Thread, the universal sewing thread for beautiful and strong seams, and the metallic effect thread W331. The Cute and Pink Limited Edition sets are available in different versions, optionally in combination with practical accessories for creative sewing projects.
Master tailor and TV celebrity Inge Szoltysik-Sparrer was the contact person at the stand for visitors who had application-specific questions about the products. She has created seam samples with our products on various fabrics and materials to illustrate their use.
Our team can look back on three exciting and successful days at the fair and would like to thank all our customers and visitors for the interesting and creative exchange. We look forward to h+h 2025 opening its doors again.
