Making energy efficiency a competitive advantage

The soaring price of energy is adding to the rapidly rising business costs of most companies, who will now be looking with more focus than ever at measures to control those costs. Energy efficient processes and machines can play a key role in bringing costs down, and machine builders have a host of technology options available to them to reduce energy usage. Indeed, for machine builders, energy efficiency could become an important competitive advantage.
