aluplast, a world leader in uPVC window and door profiles, has installed a 300 kWp solar rooftop system at its Vadodara site in Gujarat, marking a major progress in sustainable energy. Babak Golriz, Head of Expanding Markets, and Dirk Seitz, Director, attended the inauguration ceremony on 27 February, 2025 at the aluplast factory in Gujarat. The facility site, which is over 2000 square metres, has a solar rooftop installation that covers fifty percent of the site’s energy consumption and reduces a substantial carbon footprint. Over its active life span, aluplast Vadodara site is estimated to reduce carbon dioxide by almost 4.1 million tons, equivalent to planting 5,100 trees annually. Thus, this initiative in this facility accentuates aluplast’s dedication to sustainability through practical, creative and application-based actions. Additionally, it highlights the ethical, responsible, sustainable and accountable business practices through environmentally friendly technologies.

aluplast incorporates sustainable practices across all its business operations. The commitment to high quality is also apparent in its framework, processes, materials and services. From product design to manufacturing, aluplast has always prioritised sustainability. One of the products is uPVC windows and door profiles, which are made of recyclable materials.

These materials last over 30 years providing customer value for their investment and require very little upkeep. aluplast has also sharply reduced its energy usage by installing an innovative and extremely efficient compressed-air screw compressor, optimising production line energy use. Further, it implements several other strategies such as solar rooftop installation, etc. As a result, aluplast’s production facilities currently use the least energy in Europe.
