Sustainable production: the future of business

Sustainable production has become the cornerstone of business transformation in Mexico. Its adoption combines energy efficiency, regulatory compliance, and reduced operating costs. Through clean technologies such as commercial photovoltaic systems, companies like Industronic are driving a resilient production model capable of maintaining competitiveness in the face of nearshoring and global sustainability demands.

The transition to sustainable production is no longer an optional trend, but a strategic necessity. In Mexico, there are currently three key factors that make energy efficiency and business competitiveness thrive in environments that are environmentally demanding, rather than merely responsible.

First, the new Electricity Sector Law changes the dynamics of energy management at the corporate level, requiring greater transparency and adaptability in supply. Second, the impact of nearshoring as a business strategy for foreign companies demands a production infrastructure that meets global sustainability standards. And third, the near-mandatory use of clean and/or renewable energy is essential to avoid all types of risks, ranging from machinery failures and operational shutdowns to mitigating the environmental footprint and reducing electricity costs.

This context defines an imperative: investment in efficiency and clean energy technologies is the only viable path for the future of the business sector.

How does Industronic promote sustainable production in companies?

Industronic is a Mexican company with over five decades of experience in energy quality solutions for complex enterprises. Its portfolio ranges from backup and electrical protection systems (such as UPS, voltage regulators, surge suppressors) to solar energy technology and advanced energy management services (such as BESS systems that integrate EMS).

The company’s approach is not limited to installing hardware but focuses on offering a comprehensive solution that ensures quality, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Therefore, Industronic’s strategy to promote corporate sustainability is based on:

• Energy consumption optimization: through power quality analysis and management of critical electrical parameters such as distortion, power factor, and voltage fluctuations.
• Transition to clean energy sources: implementing commercial photovoltaic systems that harness solar radiation as a renewable resource.
• Technology integration: connecting monitoring, storage, and backup solutions to ensure operational continuity and maximum efficiency.

Peri Scaffolding and Formwork Success Story

Peri Scaffolding and Formwork, a German company with 20 years of operation in Mexico, is an example of how global corporate guidelines can be translated into local energy projects. Its commitment to sustainability and innovation led the company to undertake a solar energy project at its plant in Huehuetoca, State of Mexico, in partnership with Industronic.

Key Challenges Before Working with Industronic

Prior to implementing the photovoltaic system, Peri Formwork faced three major challenges:

• Rising energy costs, due to reliance on the traditional power grid.
• The need to reduce its environmental footprint, in line with the German corporation’s global strategy, which promotes sustainable initiatives across its 70 subsidiaries.
• Compliance with certification requirements within construction projects, where clients demand suppliers with environmental accreditations.

In the words of Eduardo Pedroza, CEO of Peri Cimbras Mexico, “we wanted to find a reliable technology partner. Industronic presented the best technical proposal.”

Benefits of the solar energy project with Industronic

The project consisted of the installation of 252 585-W solar panels, with an approximate capacity of 147 kW, designed and executed by Industronic’s technical team in coordination with Peri Cimbras’ operations department.

Among the benefits of a solar system project, it is worth noting that, by generating clean energy directly on-site, costs for fossil fuels and conventional electricity rates are reduced, while taking advantage of a renewable and unlimited resource. Additionally, optimizing production costs and obtaining sustainability certifications are other notable advantages.

Cost Optimization in Production

One of the most significant outcomes has been the immediate reduction in energy costs. The new solar systems generate a significant portion of the energy required by the plant, enabling Peri Cimbras to mitigate the impact of electricity rates and strengthen its competitiveness in the face of increased demand in the construction sector resulting from nearshoring.

In the medium term, this investment pays for itself through energy savings and reduced demand peaks, creating a more sustainable financial cycle.

Sustainability Certifications

Peri Cimbras’ sustainable approach responds not only to an environmental commitment but also to the demands of the global construction market, where an increasing number of projects require LEED certifications and a supply chain aligned with ESG criteria.

As Pedroza noted, “if you don’t have that certification, you simply can’t bid on certain projects.” The solar energy project allows Peri Cimbras to participate in tenders where such certifications are required.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sustainable Production

Why should companies invest in clean energy?

The transition to clean and renewable energy is a strategic investment that delivers clear competitive advantages:

1. Long-term cost reduction, as solar and hybrid projects offer stable returns thanks to savings in energy consumption.
2. Brand value and ESG compliance, which attracts investors and customers conscious of environmental impact.
3. Energy security, by reducing vulnerability to power grid outages or fluctuations.

Integration and monitoring of solar panel data

Transparency and intelligent management of energy performance data form the foundation of trust, auditing, and strategic decision-making for sustainable growth.

In this regard, the integration of solar panel performance data through monitoring systems provides real-time visibility into the plant’s operation. This information is consolidated to generate monthly or annual reports that demonstrate carbon footprint reduction, as well as complete visibility into electricity consumption and production to promote cycles of continuous improvement.
