Investing in a More Sustainable Future with Solar Energy

At Trade Mouldings, we believe that investing in the future means continually improving the way we operate. That’s why we’ve recently completed the installation of a new commercial solar energy system at our Rochdale headquarters.

As a UK manufacturer and distributor, we recognise the importance of making long-term investments that not only strengthen our business but also reduce our environmental impact. The installation of solar panels marks another significant step in our ongoing commitment to sustainability, operational efficiency and responsible growth.

Why We Chose Solar

With energy prices continuing to fluctuate and manufacturing becoming increasingly energy intensive, investing in renewable energy made both environmental and commercial sense.

Our new solar installation will help us:

• Generate more of our own renewable electricity on-site.
• Reduce our reliance on the national grid.
• Lower energy consumption and operating costs.
• Improve long-term energy security.
• Reduce our Scope 2 carbon emissions.
• Make productive use of previously unused roof space.

By producing a significant proportion of our own electricity, we’re helping to future-proof our operations while reducing our carbon footprint.

Supporting Sustainable Manufacturing

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important across every industry, including kitchen and bedroom manufacturing. Our customers are looking for suppliers who are committed to responsible business practices, and renewable energy is just one of the ways we’re working towards a more sustainable future.

While there is still more to do, investments such as our solar installation demonstrate our commitment to continuous improvement and reducing the environmental impact of our operations wherever possible.

Investing in the Future

For us, this project isn’t simply about reducing energy bills. It’s about making smart, long-term decisions that support the continued growth of Trade Mouldings.

By improving the efficiency of our facilities today, we’re helping to ensure we remain a strong, reliable manufacturing partner for our customers for many years to come.

As energy markets continue to evolve, generating more of our own renewable power gives us greater resilience, improves operational efficiency and supports our long-term business strategy.

Thank You to RAP Industrials

We’re delighted with the completed installation and would like to thank RAP Industrials for their professionalism and expertise throughout the project.

Their team delivered the installation to an exceptionally high standard, helping us take another important step towards a more sustainable future.

Looking Ahead

This investment reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation, sustainability and continuous improvement.

At Trade Mouldings, we’re proud to be investing in technologies that not only strengthen our business but also help reduce our environmental impact, ensuring we continue to provide outstanding products and service while building a more sustainable future.

We look forward to sharing more updates as we continue to invest in our facilities, our people and the future of UK manufacturing.
