Putzmeister at bauma 2025

Working together for a sustainable future: At this year’s bauma trade fair, Putzmeister is working under the motto of “TOGETHER FOR TOMORROW” and sending a strong signal for sustainability in the construction industry. The company is working on reconciling environmental, social and economic responsibility through innovative solutions, specific product innovations, already implemented and further planned measures, and a clear vision.

Sustainability as a core strategy
Putzmeister is committed to making a significant contribution to reducing emissions in the construction industry with environmentally friendly products and sustainable processes. The clear goal is to forge a path towards carbon neutrality without jeopardising the needs of future generations. Our vision and plan for a sustainable future includes the following three areas:

1. Environment: Working towards zero emissions
Our aim is a future with zero emissions, in which we promote clean air, low CO₂ emissions and low-noise solutions with innovative measures. We rely on ultra-modern technologies and environmentally friendly processes to continually reduce our carbon footprint.

2. Social engagement: Safety first
Safety is at the heart of our social commitments. With safe operating processes, the safety of our machines on customer construction sites and a responsible value chain, we are creating an environment in which people are protected and supported. 

3. Governance: Integrity and honesty 
Ethical conduct is the key to trust and long-term success. We stand by all our ethical decisions with full transparency and proactively commit to responsible corporate governance. Honesty is the foundation on which we build our relationships with customers, partners and society.

This sustainability strategy underlines our commitment to a responsible future, in which the environment, our society and corporate governance go hand in hand. Together we will forge the path to a more sustainable world.

Innovative products for a greener future
Sustainable developments are at the heart of our product innovations, which include the iONTRON product range with its low-emission and electric solutions:

• iONTRON CNG truck: The first truck-mounted concrete pump on a CNG truck significantly reduces emissions.
• iONTRON electric truck: An all-electric system allows for concrete transport and placement with zero emissions.
• Efficiency package for diesel machines: Smart technologies such as Ergonic Output Control save up to 20% of fuel.
• BSF lite – mild hybrid truck: The diesel engine automatically switches off during idling times; the agitator is supplied by a battery to prevent hardening of the concrete. This optional function can save up to 7.1 tons of CO₂ per year. 
• Innovative GridXpress iONTRON test system: With 128 kWh of power, it reliably charges all electric machines on the construction site, including iONTRON devices, and offers CEE plugs (125 A) as well as CCS2 rapid charging (120 kW) for maximum flexibility.
• Utilisation of SANY innovations: Using innovative SANY products such as photovoltaic, hydrogen, wind power and battery solutions to promote sustainability.

Optional features such as bio-oils, partial flow filters and safety functions also contribute to minimising environmental impacts and improving safety at work.

Progress in the reduction of CO₂ emissions – already implemented measures at sites across the world
Putzmeister leads by example: The production works in Brazil are the first plant of the Group to reach net-zero status. The headquarters in Aichtal are also working towards carbon neutrality through energy optimisation, the use of green energy sources like solar power, and progressive solutions from parent company SANY.

• Solar panels installed at Putzmeister Brazil, Putzmeister Oceania and Putzmeister in Aichtal (further sites to follow shortly)
• Change to LED lighting 
• Heating and cooling equipment optimised to save energy
• Optimisation of water consumption
• Green mobility initiative (free charging for employees at the Aichtal site, electrification of the fleet) 

With the use of artificial intelligence to calculate emissions and identify potential savings, Putzmeister is relying on data-based decisions to ensure continuous improvement.

Global sustainability community
A central component of our sustainability strategy is the exchange of knowledge and best practices. We share ideas and progress through our global network and monthly sustainability calls. Regular audits and the involvement of customers and stakeholders strengthen our commitment to a sustainable future. By involving our employees in our strategy, providing global compliance training and implementing a whistleblower system, we also seek to encourage our employees to actively contribute, engage in continuous learning and create transparency.

Responsibility across borders
Putzmeister is committed to complying with international and European standards such as the CSRD, the EU taxonomy and the German Supply Chain Act. The company’s first comprehensive sustainability report for 2025 will be published in 2026 and will provide transparency regarding progress and objectives.

A shared path
“Sustainability is not a trend for us, but a responsibility,” explains Christoph Kaml, CEO of the Putzmeister Group. “We believe that the construction industry has a great potential to enact a positive change for our planet. Together with our customers and partners, we are committed to creating a sustainable future.”

In the next few weeks, you will find more information about all the innovations at the Putzmeister Bauma exhibition stand under News and always at bauma.putzmeister.com.
