One of the most modern lubricant factories

The ROWE main factory, which is located in Worms and was opened in 2014, was designed and erected with sustainability in mind from day one. This can be seen, among other things, in the more than 65 km of pipework on site. The so-called "dedicated Lines" at ROWE are each utilised exclusively for one specific product, which thereby saves the environment countless flushing operations for the pipes which would otherwise be necessary.

We generate a significant amount of own electricity via a photovoltaic system and a combined heat and power plant at our factory. We even make good use of the waste heat from the indoor boilers and this is utilised for production processes and to heat the factory halls. This process is so efficient that we can actually dispense with an additional heating system in production.

Clear CO2 reduction plan

The modern process control system, renewable energies and digitalisation also characterise the ROWE plant in Worms. This is the only way to pursue an ambitious CO2 reduction plan. Thanks to numerous measures, we have already reduced CO2 emissions in Scope 1 and 2 at our two production sites in Worms and Bubenheim by over 40 per cent since 2020. But that is not enough for us: by 2030, we want to reduce the remainder by at least 90 per cent to a feasible minimum with our own measures.

We are also acting sustainably with our containers: Around 50 per cent of the containers manufactured by Palbo GmbH are made from recycled material. They are also manufactured close to our production facilities, eliminating long transport routes. Our company is also certified in accordance with the DIN EN ISO 14001 and DIN EN ISO 50001 standards.
