Solar power for Gerresheimer site in Momignies, Belgium

  • 2.3 MWp rooftop photovoltaic system on production building
  • Gerresheimer increases share of green electricity in its energy supply
  • Goal for 2030: 100% electricity from renewable sources

Duesseldorf/Momignies, October 14, 2024. Gerresheimer, an innovative system and solution partner and a global partner for the pharma, biotech and cosmetic industries has successfully installed a photovoltaic system at its site in Momignies, Belgium. Gerresheimer produces glass flacons and jars for the cosmetics industry with its roughly 750 employees in Momignies. With an installed capacity of 2.3 MWp, it will produce around 2,100 MWh of solar power each year and is expected to save roughly 300 tons of CO2 compared to sourcing conventional electricity in Belgium. Almost 100% of the electricity generated will be used on site. Installing PV systems on suitable rooftops like at the Momignies site and concluding power purchase agreements with wind and solar park operators are key steps to helping Gerresheimer continually increase the share of green electricity in its energy supply. Gerresheimer has set ambitious sustainability goals as part of its formula g corporate strategy. By 2030, the company aims to switch its entire electricity supply to renewable sources.

“The photovoltaic system in Momignies is a great example of how we are gradually advancing our sustainability goals,” explains Dietmar Siemssen, CEO of Gerresheimer AG. “We are increasing the share of green energy in the electricity supply to our production sites while reducing our CO2 emissions in the process. Gerresheimer also benefits economically from these projects.”

Almost 100% of electricity generated used on site
The new photovoltaic system at the Momignies site covers over 15,000 m2 on the roof of a production hall – the equivalent of around two soccer fields. Almost 100% of the green electricity produced by the PV system is used on site. Only any peak loads are fed into the public grid. Expansion to other areas is already being considered.

By the end of 2024, the share of electricity from renewable sources at the Momignies site will increase to around 25%, including the energy produced by the new PV system. Due to its energy-intensive glass production, the site in Momignies is one of the Gerresheimer sites with high energy demand. The total share of energy from renewable sources across all 35 production sites around the globe had already reached 45.6% by the end of 2023.

High-quality and sustainable glass packaging for the cosmetics industry
The Gerresheimer site in Momignies, Belgium, specializes in the production and decoration of glass flacons and jars as primary packaging for perfume, skin and body care products. Gerresheimer uses up to 40% post-consumer recycled glass (PCR) to produce these products. Using PCR conserves resources and reduces energy consumption in the production of high-quality primary packaging solutions.

Transparent sustainability reporting
In addition to publishing a every year, Gerresheimer also discloses relevant data as part of the ratings issued by CDP, EcoVadis, and other organizations.

We measured the sensitivity to these two measures of the 90 and 80 companies most concerned in our coverage universe. 20 companies have a CIR >5% of their EBIT and 22 companies would see their EPS fall by more than 5% due to the addit...

ODDO BHF Small & MIDCAP MORNING NEWS - 01/10/2024

Comme Astérix dans l’album éponyme, Barnier a un chaudron à remplir. Deux mesures pour y parvenir ont « fuité » ces derniers jours dans la presse : rabotage du CIR (Crédit d’impôt Recherche) et hausse « exceptionnelle » de l’impôt des sociétés sur les grands groupes. Nous avons mesuré la sensibilité des 90 et 80 sociétés les plus concernées dans notre univers de couverture à ces deux mesures. 20 sociétés ont un CIR > 5% de leur EBIT et 22 sociétés verraient leurs BPA baisser de plus d...

Gerresheimer AG : Not only 2024, but also 2025

>Cut to ambitious 2024 outlook…. - Gerresheimer announced the reduction of its 2024 guidance to 3-4% organic growth now (from 5% to 10% before) due to a significantly slower-than-expected market recovery. The guidance is also affected by the current flooding at the Morganton vial plant in the United States caused by Hurricane Helene, which will halt production for several weeks. We acknowledge that our Q3 organic growth forecast of 3.3% would have implied a strong acc...
