Meccanica Goes Even Greener – January 2010

BOLOGNA, ITALY – Meccanica Nova, a leading manufacturer of state of the art CNC Grinding Systems for the automotive, aerospace and bearing industry, gets even Greener.

Since its inception in 1937 Meccanica Nova’s philosophy has been to reinvest profits into the company.  “We believe that our philosophy to reinvest profits back into our company has helped us maintain our benchmark status in the industry”, said Andrea Catone, Director of Sales & Marketing for Meccanica Nova SpA.  During its history, Meccanica Nova has always been sensitive to the environment and the future of generations to come. 

Meccanica Nova’s high-production grinders have been used by many industries to produce high-quality components to improve technologies and develop new solutions worldwide.   “Our machines are in-use to produce components for fuel efficient and low emission engines as well as wind-energy turbines”.

Meccanica Nova’s latest contribution to the planet was the installation of a self sustaining clean energy system.   “Our factory and headquarters located in Bologna, Italy were equipped with photovoltaic modules for producing Clean Energy, and went online December 18, 2008”, said Catone.

Installation was facilitated by the building’s construction, the roof is a multiple-shed type with a 14° angle of inclination which provided an optimized orientation of the panels to the sun, as well as the building’s geographical orientation of 30°S/W.  “The Facility’s entire roof has been exploited, the total surface of 50,980sq.ft. has been covered by 3,425 photovoltaic panels.  The system is capable of developing 648kWp of Maximum peak output which is estimated to produce 738,720kWh/yr of Clean Energy” per Catone.

As of January 1, 2010 Meccanica Nova has already produced more than 75,000 kWh of Clean Energy since going online in December of 2008, and the system throughout the photovoltaic modules estimated life cycle will have contributed to the planet’s health by saving 17,321.85 Tons of CO2, 38,493.00 Kilograms of NOx and 43,262.18 Barrels of crude oil.
