July 2015 - Energy Efficiency and the markets that we serve
July 2015 - Energy Efficiency and the markets that we serve. The broad topic of Energy Efficiency touches our lives and our industry in many ways. Cost savings and stewardship of our planet’s natural resources are but a couple of the many drivers of the actions being taken across the manufacturing sector to address this topic. More than half of all electricity consumed in the manufacturing sector is used for powering motors. At Sko-Die, the Motor, Generator and Transformer markets are at the heart of those industries that we are proud to serve. We remain steadfast in our efforts to assist our customers in achieving improvements in the area of efficiency.
