Amann’s factory in Tamil Nadu, India is state-of-the-art in terms of resource conservation and sustainable processes and the first Amann production site worldwide equipped with a zero liquid discharge wastewater treatment plant.

This is the group’s first production site in India and it will begin operations in 2023. Zero liquid discharge is a wastewater management system that ensures that there will be no discharge of industrial wastewater into the environment. This will allow the entire production water to be recycled and reused completely.

Moreover, the plant will also have a green electricity profile as photovoltaic systems will cover the electricity demand of the whole plant. The investment into this green, state-of-the-art production site follows the highest demands in terms of sustainability.
