Symaga company profile

Symaga Group’s installation of a photo-voltaic solar energy generation plant to power its factory in Villarta de San Juan, Spain is another step in their commitment to sustainability and respect for the environment.

In 2018 they consolidated their commitment when they implemented an Environmental Management System ISO 14001. Using one of the covers of their buildings, they have installed a system of solar panels that will generate green energy.
 

This first phase will supply 25 percent of the total energy consumed in Symaga Group, aiming for 100 percent in the second phase.

Within Symaga’s continuous improvement for manufacturing plan, the entrance to the plant has been reorganised at a logistical level, improving the internal traffic of trucks, vehicles and parking spaces for over 3500 trucks that come and go every year.

Two buildings have been rebuilt, the first to control the entry and exit of vehicles, with a room to give occupational risk prevention to all visitors and the second building with a new training and meeting room for the production team.

No slow down for Covid-19
Since the onslaught of Covid-19 in Europe since January, Symaga has not been constrained in its activities, while at the same time adopting all the required regulations to minimize the potential spread of the disease within its factory – such as distancing, hygiene procedures, working from home where possible and not allowing truck drives to exits their cabs.

"As we have learnt from the past, this company is continually evolving with innovative developments in silo construction, such as the latest one report in this magazine relating to offering customers stiffeners made from HX500 LAD structural steel with a yield strength of 500N/mm2 which increases their resistance by 45 percent. Our Steel Quality Improvement Project initially focused on stiffeners, the supports of a silo’s vertical load. As part of the improvement plan the company has also made strides to supply pre-assembled boltings, giving the customer an easier and faster assembly.  These initiatives comes as a recognition of our customer’s needs,” says the company.

That recognition is the ability to receive ideas from customers as to the improvements they would like to see adopted.
