Why choose a green supply chain?
At Tumag, sustainability is not a marketing term but a strategic choice. We consciously invest in sustainable mould making, energy-efficient production, and tooling with a long service life. In this way, we support Belgian and Dutch industrial companies that want to make their supply chain more sustainable without compromising on precision or quality.
Our approach combines high-precision production with future-oriented infrastructure and smart energy solutions.
Sustainable production and top quality go hand in hand.
Energy-efficient infrastructure and green power
Our company building was designed with a clear focus on energy efficiency and a long-term vision.
- Energy-efficient building envelope
- Heat pump system
- BEO field (geothermal energy storage)
- No gas connection
- Maximum insulation and smart climate control
These investments not only reduce our ecological footprint, but also ensure a stable and future-proof production environment.
Our production runs as much as possible on renewable energy. We combine:
- In-house energy production
- Smart energy management
- Energy-efficient CNC machines
- Continuous monitoring of consumption
Solar panels for renewable energy
On the roof of our site, there is a PV installation with no fewer than 592 solar panels, covering a significant share of our electricity needs. This results in a lower CO₂ impact per mould or precision component produced.
Energy-efficient operations
We also use heat pumps for energy-efficient heating and cooling. Combined with our Borehole Energy Storage (BES/BEO) field, this forms a long-term sustainable energy solution. A BEO field consists of a network of vertical boreholes in the ground where heat and cold are stored. In summer, excess heat is stored in the ground and reused in winter for heating—and vice versa. This system ensures a stable indoor climate in our production hall and offices with minimal energy impact.
Water management and circular solutions
We also take responsibility in terms of water use. Through rainwater harvesting, we collect rainwater and reuse it in our processes and for sanitary use. This limits the use of tap water and reduces environmental impact.
Tooling with a long service life = real sustainability
Through smart planning, precise CNC machining, and strict quality control, we limit material waste and extend the lifespan of our moulds and components. Sustainable production also means: less waste and greater reliability for our customers.
We build:
- High-end injection moulds
- 2K moulds
- Multi-cavity tooling
- (Cutting) punches
- Precision mechanical components
Our tooling is designed for:
- Long operational lifespan
- Minimal wear
- Maximum process stability
- Efficient maintenance
A mould that lasts longer means less material consumption, less downtime, and lower overall production costs.
In our sector, sustainability primarily means: quality and longevity.
Sustainability in production processes
We integrate sustainability into every phase of our one-stop-shop model:
- Engineering with a focus on optimization
- Precision production with minimal tolerances
- Quality control to limit failure costs
- Maintenance to extend service life
Through process optimization, we reduce:
- Waste
- Energy consumption
- Corrective work
- Unnecessary transport movements
Future-oriented and responsible manufacturing
Our customers expect top quality and reliability. We deliberately complement this with sustainable and energy-efficient production. By investing in renewable energy, innovative techniques, and well-considered raw material and water management, we are building a production process that is ready for the future.
For Belgian and Dutch companies, partnering with Tumag means:
✔ A more sustainable supply chain
✔ Local production within the Benelux
✔ Less transport impact
✔ Tooling with a long service life
✔ Reliable partner for ESG objectives
We support companies in:
A sustainable workplace for employees
Sustainability does not stop at machines and buildings. We also invest in an energy-efficient and pleasant working environment. In our production areas, we use LED lighting, which significantly reduces energy consumption while ensuring optimal visibility for precision work.
We provide charging facilities for e-bikes to encourage sustainable commuting. In this way we contribute to reduced traffic pressure and lower CO₂ emissions, while creating a modern and future-oriented workplace.
Looking for a sustainable long-term partner in mould making?
We do not believe in short-term solutions, but in sustainable relationships.
By investing in technology, infrastructure, and skilled people, we build not only moulds — but also long-term partnerships.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What makes a Tumag injection mould sustainable?
Sustainability in mould making primarily lies in the quality and lifespan of the tooling. Through precise CNC machining, high-grade steel materials, and optimal mould maintenance, we guarantee an extremely long service life. This not only reduces the need for replacement but also ensures more stable processes with significantly less material loss and waste in your own production.
How does Tumag reduce CO₂ emissions during precision manufacturing?
We manufacture in an extremely energy-efficient facility in Turnhout, completely without a gas connection. The energy for our high-end machine park is largely generated locally through a PV installation with nearly 600 solar panels. In addition, our climate-controlled production environment is sustainably heated and cooled using heat pumps and our own BEO field (Borehole Energy Storage).
Why is local mould making in the Benelux a sustainable choice?
By choosing a tooling partner close to home, you directly reduce the ecological footprint of your supply chain (Scope 3 emissions). Local production in Belgium eliminates unnecessary and polluting intercontinental transport movements. In addition, it ensures shorter lead times, faster communication, and the certainty that production takes place under strict European environmental and labor regulations.
Is sustainability also considered during the engineering phase?
Absolutely. The foundation for a sustainable production process is laid during the engineering phase. Through co-engineering and Design for Manufacturing (DFM), we design moulds and precision mechanical components in a way that optimizes raw material usage. We also proactively advise on material selection and the implementation of efficient concepts such as flex moulds.
