An energy-intensive industrial site
JM Polymers is the European leader in manufacturing mineral-based masterbatch for the plastics industry. Their products are among the most innovative on the market, incorporating 80% mineral filler for only 20% polymer.
Its 12,000 m² plant operates continuously, 24/7, and includes extensive automation. As a result, JM Polymers’ electricity consumption is significant, around 9.9 GWh per year in 2022.
Rising electricity prices threaten competitiveness
In 2022, like all economic players in Europe, JM Polymers faced a sharp increase in electricity prices, which was expected to continue in 2023. Without corrective action, JM Polymers’ electricity bill would have doubled within a year.
Choosing Qualisteo to measure and manage consumption
Before changing its production processes, JM Polymers first needed to understand its energy usage. The company chose Qualisteo for the following reasons:
- Wattseeker software provides near real-time consumption monitoring, with a simple, ergonomic interface and strong visual management
- Qualisteo offers full support, including data interpretation and recommendations for corrective actions
The result: €100,000 saved on the bill
Thanks to the data and recommendations provided by Qualisteo, JM Polymers implemented several corrective actions. A significant portion of these investments was financed through the Energy Savings Certificate (CEE).
JM Polymers reduced its electricity consumption by 5%, representing nearly €100,000 over a period of 18 months.
