Antolini Taps Into Green Energy

SEGA DI CAVAION, Italy — Antolini’s commitment to sustainability now includes turning to the sun to power its operations.

A new photovoltaic system on the main roof at headquarters here will produce more than 3,00 MWh annually and cover most of the company’s energy needs.

“We have embraced the challenge of a sustainable future, and the photovoltaic panels are just the beginning,” said CEO Alberto Antolini. “Our constant dedication to respecting Mother Nature encourages us to move towards ever more innovative and green solutions.

“We are convinced that, together, we can help safeguard our planet’s resources.”

The photovoltaic system, developed by Bolzano, Italy-bsed Alperia and distributed on the roof of Antolini’s main plant, covers a total area of about 17,525 square yards. The expected output is 3,399,165 electric kWh per year.

“We are proud of this partnership with Antolini; it confirms how important it is to include sustainability in a company’s development strategy,” said Luca Fresi, engineer and director of Alperia’s BU Smart Region. “We operate in multiple production fields and to being able to lend our support to a company that is a world leader in natural-stone processing motivates us to strive to give the maximum of our expertise».

A photovoltaic system of this size and type avoids the release of 1,261 tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere per year, which is the equivalent of what 2,222 trees absorb, covering an area of 23,920 square yards, over an average life of 25 years.
