Group-wide initiatives
Komori is actively promoting the introduction of solar power generation systems across its domestic and overseas production sites. In 2016, a 500 kW solar panel system was installed at the Tsukuba Plant in Japan.
MBO Postpress Solutions GmbH (MBO), a Komori Group company responsible for manufacturing and sales of postpress equipment, installed solar power systems, first in Germany in 2022 and then in Portugal in 2023, with a combined capacity of 734 kW. In fiscal 2024, MBO’s total use of renewable energy generated through solar power amounted to 818,000 kWh, equivalent to a reduction of 194 tons of CO₂ emissions.*
Komori will continue to expand the use of renewable energy at its production sites worldwide, fulfilling its responsibilities as a global company.
