Grifco ANZ

Sustainability is essential for the growth of Australia’s manufacturing industry. By adopting environmentally responsible practices, we can continue to ensure the industry is thriving. That’s why our custom-built Grifco site in Somersby was designed with a focus on sustainability. The facility integrates an array of sustainability features, including a 200kW solar PV system, onsite water tanks and EV chargers. The 200kW solar PV system generates 260MWh of energy annually, reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 150,000 kg each year—equivalent to planting 2,900 trees. Additionally, our onsite water tanks conserve 300kl annually. In line with our zero-waste goal, 90% of the waste from our manufacturing facility is recycled, keeping us on track to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025. We’re excited to continue our legacy of Australian manufacturing while championing sustainable business practices on the Central Coast. #Grifco #Sustainability #LocalManufacturing #CommercialAccess #110YearsofGrifco #CentralCoast

Did you know KiwiRail owns, maintains, and operates New Zealand’s 3700km rail network – and that Grifco helps support this? Carrying about 18 million tonnes of freight each year, Kiwi Rail helps reduce congestion on the roads and every tonne of freight carried by rail delivers 70% emissions saving over road. Recently, KiwiRail built a new facility to bolster its South Island operations. The Waltham Mechanical Hub houses 25 maintenance berths to service locomotives, including new low-emission locos that are on their way.   Working together with our trusted dealer partner, Apex Doors, Grifco is proud to play a part in this by enhancing the Hub’s control and automation with the Grifco E-Drive and Expansion Board.
