Swiss energy for Swiss quality
APACO makes equipment and systems for the food, biochemistry, pharmaceutical and chemical industries and has an annual energy requirement of around 300,000 kWh. It is therefore especially interested in having a reliable and cost-effective energy supply. Grid stability is a key factor, especially for the welding work required in this sector.
Focus on affordable and reliable energy supply
As a Swiss company, APACO wants to ensure it can offer high quality at competitive prices, which means having access to affordable energy. However, in addition to cost and availability, geopolitical aspects also play a role: The use of our own renewable resources matches the manufacturer's mission statement, which addresses sustainability.
For us, three factors are crucial when it comes to our energy supply: reliability, favourable prices, and sustainability. We have been working with Primeo Energie for several years now for precisely these reasons.

New potential through photovoltaics and monitoring
To clearly underscore sustainability and contribute to the energy revolution, APACO has also been using self-produced solar energy since 2021. Following extensive electricity data analyses and consultations with Primeo Energie, a 1,100 m2 photovoltaic system was installed on the roof. Further digitisation will open up new options for the company in future – for example, through systematic energy monitoring, which clearly identifies avoidable peak performance levels.
Digitisation will be a key factor going forward – particularly in the field of energy. And this is where Primeo Energie's experts are needed – to help achieve the optimal benefits.

Recipe for success: Development of technological solutions
Close coordination is crucial for a successful partnership. This has led to numerous technical innovations and improvements in the established business relationship between APACO and Primeo Energie. Swiss technology and energy are a formidable combination that will continue into the future.
