Reliefed Technologies is the company behind the invention of z.trusion®.
Our mission is to enable our customers to become trailblazers in their industries through resource-efficient product innovation, contributing to a meaningful 1% reduction in global CO2e emissions.
Everything starts with a problem. Our inventor, Mark J Kragh, wanted to manufacture a structured aluminum profile but couldn't get the business case to hold. As he was walking to his favourite climbing spot in Sweden he saw a tractor leaving mud tracks in a field, which gave him an idea.
This idea eventually led to the creation of z.trusion®. Our mission is to enable our customers to become trailblazers in their industries through resource-efficient product innovation, contributing to a meaningful 1% reduction in global CO2e emissions.
Thermal window: A great potential
As a reference, a European thermal break supplier indicates volumes of 100 million meters/year. That means a conservative calculation on CO2 savings is:
✔️ 10 million m2 installed window saves 100 GWh/year
✔️ 100 GWh equals approx. 42,000 ton CO2/year (as estimated internally by the Reliefed team)
For the same volume the material savings would mean approximately 1,050 ton (equals approximately €20 million) compared with conventional thermal break profile.
Bumper beam: Potential of an optimized beam
If a weight saving of 3 kg could be reached in a car, for 1 million cars with 3 kg of weight-saving, a reduction of approximately 100,000 ton CO2 is achieved over all (as estimated internally by the Reliefed team).
Material waste elimination
Solar panel Cooling application
Substantial savings were made possible in design and production thanks to the z.trusion® technology.
Manufacturing costs were reduced from approximately €33/mtr to approximately €4.5/mtr, including material (as estimated internally by the Reliefed team).
✔️ 90% reduction of production cost
✔️ 100% elimination of material waste
Total Impact
Our cutting-edge technology paves the way for a substantial reduction in the CO2 footprint across various manufacturing industries. By minimizing material usage and optimizing energy consumption, our primary objective is to contribute to a remarkable 1% reduction in global CO2 emissions.
