Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility
Caring for people, planet, and progress; together for tomorrow.
Sustainability is more than a global theme, it’s our responsibility.
At Tummers Simon Dryers Technology, we believe we only have one planet to share, and we want to pass it on in better shape to the generations that follow.
From our production floors to our product designs, we integrate sustainability into everything we do and making it part of our DNA, not just a policy.
Sustainability in our operations
Our facilities are designed to minimise our footprint while maximising efficiency and wellbeing.
We’ve invested heavily in renewable energy and smarter production practices, because sustainability starts at home.
Our key initiatives:
These are not trends for us, they’re practical steps toward a more sustainable company.
Solar panels
Providing renewable energy for our operations.
Greywater systems
Recycling water for facility use such as machine testing and sanitary facilities.
Gas-free buildings
Fully electric heating and process systems.
Heat recovery
Reusing energy from our machines to heat our workshops.
Paperless working
As much as possible digital documentation and communication.
Smart ventilation & natural light
Reducing energy waste and creating a healthy workspace.
Work-life balance
Flexible and remote working options to support our people’s wellbeing.
Sustainable innovation in our products
We design and manufacture drying systems that help our customers save energy, reduce emissions, and use resources more efficiently.
Every machine we build reflects our mission to make industrial processing smarter, cleaner, and more circular.
Examples of sustainable design in our systems:
- Steam recovery & reuse – capturing and returning condensate to the boiler for energy savings.
- Low sweep-air operation – smaller dust filters, reduced air volume, and lower energy use.
- Closed systems – cleaner, safer drying with less waste and fewer emissions.
- Energy-efficient drive technology – advanced control systems and variable speeds for optimal performance.
- “Lights-off factory” concept – our long-term vision for fully automated, low-energy operations at our customers’ sites.
Community & regional responsibility
We’re proud to be part of the local communities where we live and work.
From supporting regional charities and sports clubs to offering guided tours and educational visits, we aim to make a positive impact, locally and globally.
How we give back:
- Supporting local initiatives and charities that strengthen community wellbeing.
- Sponsoring youth sports and special days for the elderly community.
- Offering internships, re-skilling programs, and open company days for students and job seekers.
- Acting as a learning hub for young talent and curious minds, because we’re not just a machine builder, we’re a school of experience.
And looking ahead:
We’re preparing to launch the Tummers Academy; a dedicated in-house training opportunity where future generations can learn the art and science of sustainable engineering and building.
Part of a sustainable group
As part of the Tummers Group, our sustainability mission extends far beyond our own walls.
Every Tummers company shares the same core belief:
Technology should serve people and planet, not the other way around.
Together, we work toward a circular, responsible future, focused on wellbeing, efficiency, and continuity across all our operations worldwide.
Why work with us?
100+ years
experience in drying technology.
Engineered
Machines designed for dust control, energy efficiency, hygiene and clean-label compatibility.
Support
From testing in our lab to installation and after-sales service.
Sustainable
Efficient steam use, minimal waste and high product yield.
Our systems use indirect steam heating, condensate recovery, and low sweep-air principles, significantly reducing energy consumption and emissions.
We actively support regional initiatives, education programs, and social events, strengthening the communities where our people live and work.
A future in-house training platform where we’ll share expertise, offer workshops, and educate future generations about mechanical engineering, process design, and sustainability.
Absolutely. We regularly host school tours, research collaborations, and internship programs, fostering learning and innovation together.
