Würth Industry North America

Both here at Würth Industry North America and across the Würth Group’s global presence, we are committed to protecting our planet and making ourselves and our customers more sustainable. Sustainability is truly built into our business—we develop comprehensive inventory management solutions that maximize our customers’ efficiency of purchasing, production, and material flow, which in turn reduces their environmental footprint. We reduce the emissions produced by product transportation by consolidating suppliers, and by using our data-driven approach to inventory management to order exactly the amount of product our customers need, at exactly the right time. Our vending solutions for MRO and safety supplies reduce product consumption by up to 35%—which means that 35% less product needs to be created and packaged. Our industrial 3D printing and digital inventory solutions further reduce transportation needs and energy use by bringing manufacturing into customers’ facilities, eliminating the need to transport prototypes and even fully-functional parts from across the globe. In addition to making our customers more sustainable, we also engage in internal environmental initiatives at our facilities to reduce our pressure on the environment. Using low-emission lighting, migrating from liquefied petroleum to electric forklifts in our warehouses, and recycling our cardboard and IT equipment are just a few of the ways that we work to protect the environment each day. As a member of the Würth Group, we are committed to executing on their three pillar goals for sustainability for the organization: carbon neutrality, creation of a circular economy, and social responsibility. It's important to us that the actions we take to improve our sustainability come from inside our organization and can be tested and implemented by individuals who understand our business. That's why the Würth Industry North America Green Team is made up of sustainability advocates from our team, who have come together across different departments and divisions.
