We are employing more and more people and investing in new machinery for our production sites , and ultimately trying to shift from second gear up to at least fourth , if not fifth , which is much more fun . At the same time , it ’ s been a lot more challenging , but with that , comes greater rewards and a real sense that we are part of the European mission to transition from fossil fuels to more sustainable alternatives . This alone is a real privilege .”
A circular economy
Last year , and in collaboration with Kingspan Group , LOGSTOR set the wheels in motion to establish a large production campus in Western Ukraine . Although the timing for execution is still in question , the proposed facility will be a multipurpose factory , once it ’ s complete . “ We are also contemplating a second similar investment elsewhere in Europe , for another dedicated plant , as we require a greater production capacity to facilitate our forecasted growth . Of course we are all hoping for a brighter tomorrow for the country as a whole , but fortunately it isn ’ t entirely under war . There is still ongoing business and production , and an economy , so hopefully we ’ ll be able to implement our plans soon .”
As Andrzej comes to a conclusion , the conversation turns to LOGSTOR ’ s environmental initiatives : “ Around three years ago , we started to imbed a circular economy motion into our offerings , by utilizing recycled plastic in some of our products . We are also part of Kingspan ’ s Planet Passionate program , in which we are aiming to reduce our carbon footprint in a number of ways . Furthermore , we have recently started to plan how we can get involved with carbon capture technology going forwards , as we believe our products are applicable for transporting liquidized carbon around networks . When it comes to sustainability , there ’ s a wide range of interesting new opportunities for LOGSTOR to explore .” ■
