Elfack 2009

Elfack 2009 will feature four theme days, specially designed and presented to highlight exhibitors and make it even easier for visitors to find the products, systems and services they are looking for.

This issue of Elfack News includes comments from exhibitors on Environment & Energy Day. A day packed with seminars, activities, presentations, know-how and climate-smart products for reducing emissions and contributing towards sustainable production.

“Elfack is where we meet lots of customers and other interested parties,” says Stefan Lindgren, Manager Front End Sales (Power), Swedish Sales, ABB Power Products & Systems. “In fact, it’s our biggest and best contact forum.”

“We had two main themes at the 2007 exhibition - Energy Efficiency and Reliable Electricity Networks. We think it’s a concept worth repeating. After all, we’ve got a wide range of products, systems and services for high and low voltage solutions that benefit companies and the environment.”

“Elfack 2009 will give us a perfect opportunity to present our ‘Schneider Energy Action Program’ to a huge number of customers,” says Claes Anselmsson, Manager Services & Projects.

“You can gain a lot, money-wise and environment-wise, by reducing energy consumption. So we’ve started an in-house energy-saving project. Stage one aims at enabling every employee to reduce their electricity consumption by 10%. To do this, we’re reviewing all our manufacturing units, linking measurement test results, regulating motor speeds, improving electricity quality with phase compensation, upgrading property automation and introducing intelligent lighting control.”

“Elfack’s an important venue when it comes to energy and the environment,” says Jeanette Olsson, Information Manager, Osram AB. “Of course, the two subjects go hand in hand. The electricity sector must show consumers that we can lessen the burden on the environment. That is, if we all work together to reduce unnecessary energy consumption,”

“The environment’s important to Osram. The main burden on it is caused by product energy consumption. So we’ve put a lot of effort into producing energy-efficient solutions. We were the first to introduce modern low-energy lamps. We also have a wide range of halogen lamps. You gain an immediate energy saving of up to 30% when you replace an ordinary lamp with one of our halogen lamps. And we’re always looking at our own manufacturing processes; recyclable products are very high on our agenda.”

Elfack has started to work with EIO (Organisation of Electrical Installers) and Elinstallatören, the leading trade journal.

Elinstallatören will be distributed free of charge, twice a year, to all Elfack visitors and exhibitors. It will be sent in joint mailings with a magazine from Elfack containing news about the exhibition themes.
