Our Journey to Net Zero: Hutchinson X Solmatix

One of the most significant milestones in our journey was installing a solar panel system at the end of last year. We worked with Solmatix on this project, and they provided a comprehensive and tailored service. This investment allows us to harness clean, renewable energy to power our operations, reducing our carbon footprint and reliance on traditional energy sources. By integrating solar energy into our daily processes, we are actively contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing industry.

"Working with Hutchinson has been a fantastic opportunity to showcase how solar energy can drive real savings and sustainability for forward-thinking businesses. At Solmatix, we take pride in delivering high-quality, tailored renewable solutions, and this project is a great example of how solar PV can help companies take control of their energy costs while reducing their carbon footprint. Hutchinson’s commitment to sustainability aligns perfectly with our own, and we’re delighted to have played a part in their journey toward a greener future."

– Neville Bell, Managing Director, Solmatix

Our commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop there. We continually assess and enhance our processes to minimise environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of quality in our products and services. A key step in this direction has been the installation of a fully automated racking system within our factory. This innovation has significantly reduced the need for forklifts, cutting emissions while also creating a safer working environment for our employees.

Beyond our internal improvements, we believe that meaningful change requires collaboration. That’s why we actively engage with industry partners and academic institutions to drive innovation in key areas such as hydrogen energy, electric vehicles (EVs), automation, and robotics. These partnerships help us stay ahead of the curve, ensuring we continue to integrate the latest advancements in sustainability into our business model.

By investing in technology, improving workplace safety, and embracing renewable energy, Hutchinson is positioning itself as a leader in sustainable manufacturing. Our journey to Net Zero by 2040 is an ambitious one, but with every step forward, we move closer to a cleaner, greener future for our industry and beyond.
