The plants have been built to provide energy efficient offices and production areas and we have made a substantial investment in ensuring that the company and its employees are committed to efficient manufacturing practices and to minimizing their impact on the environment.

“Our main environmental aim in the building of these plants has been to maximise the efficient utilisation of energy and resources,” explains Amjad Wahbeh, New Projects Director in Portugal. “The reduction of energy use, responsible solutions for waste disposal and recycling are all important factors in ensuring these facilities are as environmentally-friendly as possible.”

In the new plant, we have thought strategically about the utilization of natural light to minimise our energy requirements. In addition, the implementation of motion detectors and a central light control system ensures that the company uses as little electric energy as possible.

The new plant has also been built with double wall insulation, a heat recovery system for the main air handling units, and a water recycling system which ensures that cleaned process water is re-used for sanitary, irrigation and floor cleaning purposes.

Hikma is committed to the protection and improvement of the environment and to a greener and cleaner planet. We are proud to be investing in energy efficient machinery that makes good environmental – and good business – sense.
