Why Alimak

Sustainability

At Alimak, environmental responsibility is at the core of everything we do. From design to delivery, we strive to minimize our carbon footprint and promote sustainable practices throughout the entire lifecycle of our products.

Choosing Alimak means peace of mind – our permanent and temporary elevators, hoists and mast-climbers deliver sustainability throughout their lifecycle, from production to decades of reliable operation.

Sustainable manufacturing, driven globally and led from Northern Sweden

At Alimak, we are continuously reducing our environmental footprint across all our manufacturing sites. One of our strongest examples is our production facility in Northern Sweden, powered by 100% renewable hydropower and operating with a near‑zero carbon footprint. Lean manufacturing principles further reduce waste and improve efficiency.

This plant serves as a benchmark for sustainability initiatives that we are progressively implementing throughout our global operations.

Key initiatives

  • Hydropower-based energy with with a near‑zero carbon footprint
  • Highly efficient gearboxes for reduced power consumption
  • Systemized packaging and transport by boat or train as first choice
  • Comprehensive waste sorting for reuse, recycling, or energy recovery
  • No restricted chemicals in manufacturing, products, or maintenance
  • Solvent usage reduced by 700% since 1991
  • Process water purified and externally analyzed before release
  • ISO 14001 environmental certification since 2009
  • Annual environmental validation of major suppliers
  • Ongoing improvements in safety, ergonomics, and working conditions

Sustainable product design

Thanks to modular design and component commonality, our elevator, hoist and mast-climber products require fewer raw materials and generate less waste. Over 95% of the materials used in our products are recyclable, and refurbishment programs extend product life for decades, reducing environmental impact.

Electric by design since 1948

From the very beginning, Alimak has built electrically powered elevators that minimize emissions and maximize energy efficiency. Our elevator technology reduces environmental impact through durable engineering, long product lifecycles and low maintenance needs – supporting safer, cleaner and more sustainable operations across industries for more than 75 years.
