Its roughly 2,000 employees generate sales of just over a billion Swiss francs at more than 40 sites. Innovative, state-of-the-art Swiss quality is developed and produced and investments are made in the further development of products and services at ten manufacturing sites.

ISOVER SWITCHES TO GREEN ENERGY IN SWITZERLAND
ISOVER has been producing glass wool in the Broyetal for more than 80 years. For the company in Lucens sustainability is a central pillar of corporate action. Recently the Lucens factory took another step forward in this respect. The energy used by the industrial company to produce the glass wool for the Swiss market, comes now from completely CO2-neutral sources. Lucens has been using electricity from the Grand Dixence hydroelectric power station for some time. Now also the energy required mainly for the tunnel kiln and other industrial processes is CO2 neutral. The gas supplier energiapro confirmed this with a certificate at the end of March. Since October 1, 2019, energiapro compensates in cooperation with ecoLive the gas consumption of the Lucens factory by investing in climate projects in Kenya, Madagascar and India.
