Food industry

For the interests of their customers, food manufacturers also place the highest demands on all their suppliers. Of course, this also applies to the energy industry – both in terms of energy price and uninterrupted energy supply.

At the same time the food industry is increasingly focusing on avoiding CO2 emissions.

GETEC develops concepts for the supply of electricity, process heat, cooling, compressed air or nitrogen tailored to the specific needs of each of its customers. Wherever possible, we implement renewable energy sources and sustainably optimise the carbon footprint of the company.

We are focused on ensuring an environmentally friendly, cost-effective and uninterrupted energy supply.
