Fronius is conducting a certified life cycle assessment (LCA) for welding applications to enhance sustainability and resource use.

Fronius is taking a revolutionary step in terms of sustainability and its use of resources by carrying out a certified life cycle assessment (LCA) for welding applications. Taking a holistic view of welding, from device manufacturing through customer use to end of life, yields insights into the key areas where we can reduce the carbon footprint. As pioneers in the industry, we are looking to address these areas in cooperation with our customers.

There’s no question that welding creates long-lasting bonds between metals. But how can we make this process one that will last by enhancing its sustainability in the customer’s application—in terms of the environmental impact “For our customers, in addition to cost-effectiveness, the carbon footprint of their production processes and components is becoming more important. That’s why we want to create added value for the users of our welding solutions by further minimising the carbon footprint of our devices by helping companies to reduce their consumption of resources during welding,” said Harald Scherleitner, Global Director of Sales and Marketing, Business Unit Perfect Welding, Fronius International GmbH.
