HEILBRONN, Germany – GGB Heilbronn GmbH, GGB Bearing Technology's German subsidiary, has been certified to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 50001 standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving its energy management system. The first of EnPro Industries' companies to achieve this certification, it was assessed and certified by independent auditor, TÜV Rheinland.

“GGB Heilbronn offered to pilot this initiative which is doubly important to us, as it addresses both our operational and environmental issues,” said GGB Vice President of Operations Susan Sweeney. By providing the guidelines for improving our energy efficiency, it will have a very direct impact on our bottom line, and a less direct, but still measurable impact on our environmental performance, to which both GGB and our parent company EnPro Industries are committed.

ISO 50001 was developed by ISO to enable organizations to follow a systematic approach to achieving continual improvement in their energy performance. It specifies requirements for energy use and consumption, including measurement, documentation and reporting, design and procurement practices for equipment, systems, processes and personnel that contribute to energy performance.
