Customer challenge

How did Wernsing Feinkost GmbH turn their waste into energy?

The Wernsing Feinkost GmbH is part of the Wernsing Food Family, a company that processes around 500,000 tons of potatoes each year. The company strategy focuses on the utilization of all resources directly on-site.

Older processes known to consume energy in food manufacturing have motivated Wernsing Feinkost GmbH to utilize the potential of production waste to generate energy. The decision to shift to sustainable production makes it possible for the company to cover a significant percentage of its energy needs on its own today.
