Minimizing our environmental impact

At Suzuki Garphyttan, we take environmental responsibility across all our sites. We strive not only to comply with but also to exceed legal requirements, contributing actively to sustainable development. By partnering with suppliers who share our commitment and provide verifiable data, we ensure that our products have the lowest possible climate and environmental impact.

Investing in employees and the community

At Suzuki Garphyttan, social responsibility means taking action to support both our employees and the wider community. This includes protecting the environment, treating employees fairly, and promoting diversity and inclusion. We align our efforts with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and continuously work to contribute to them.

Driving growth through innovation

To remain a world-leading wire supplier, we continuously adapt to the markets of today and tomorrow. While the automotive segment - traditionally linked to internal combustion engines - remains important, we are expanding into new industries and applications to diversify our offering and secure sustainable growth.

Sustainability report

Each year, we release a new sustainability report. The purpose of the report is to track our progress over time and set goals for future sustainability efforts. It contains information about energy and resource use, waste management, employee health and safety, and more.

Innovation in wire production

Suzuki Garphyttan operates with a foundation in historical roots. However, we wouldn’t remain relevant as a modern supplier without adapting our production to meet demands from the market. That’s why we focus on independently developing our production equipment. - By building our own machines, we can create customizations that meet our customers' high expectations and requirements. At the same time, we use our production facilities intelligently, creating greater efficiency in our processes, says Robin Olsson, CTO and Head of Research & Development (R&D) at Suzuki Garphyttan.
