100 Years of CO₂ Reduction
A Century of Engineering for Sustainability
Pneumofore proudly presents its latest video, “100 Years of CO₂ Reduction”, a powerful interview and a strong statement of the company’s long-standing commitment to environmental sustainability in industrial production. The video explores one of Pneumofore’s founding missions: minimizing the environmental impact of vacuum pumps and compressed air systems.
The video addresses a critical, often overlooked fact: today, pneumatic equipment account for nearly 15% of the world’s total electricity consumption, generating a significant share of CO₂ emissions. Since 1923, Pneumofore’s mission has been to reverse this trend by designing energy-efficient, durable vacuum pumps and compressors solutions. The company’s Rotary Vane technology ensures constant efficiency over time, helping industries cut both emissions and operational costs. Every kilowatt hour saved with Pneumofore machines prevents 0,5 kg of CO₂ emissions. This is not just about efficiency, it’s about environmental responsibility.
In the video, President Eng. Daniel Hilfiker explains the technical and ethical foundations of this approach. Unlike conventional pneumatic machines that degrade quickly and demand frequent overhauls, Pneumofore vacuum pumps and compressors are built for decades of constant efficiency and performance, resulting in the lowest Life Cycle Cost in the market.
Eng. Hilfiker also highlights Pneumofore’s firm stance against planned obsolescence that reflects a deep-rooted belief that engineering must serve both people and planet. With over 100 years of innovation, Pneumofore continues to lead with purpose in sustainable pneumatic solutions, with values that remain the guiding force behind every machine designed to create a better tomorrow.
