Arla has committed to a Science-Based Targets initiative-approved climate plan, aiming to reach Net Zero by 2050. Their interim targets are equally ambitious, including a 30% reduction in emissions on farms and from packaging, third-party logistics, and sourced whey, as well as a 63% reduction in emissions from production, owned logistics, and energy usage by 2030.

We supplied a 2500kVA, 11000/415V Wilson e4 Ultimate Low Loss Amorphous® Transformer, the UK’s most energy-efficient transformer, delivering 27% lower combined losses than Tier 2 compliant models.

The transformer’s installation was a technically demanding operation. Initially lifted by a high-reach crane, the 8.5-tonne transformer was carefully positioned on a dedicated raised platform. From there, it was transferred onto special wheels and manually manoeuvred with precision through a tight corridor to reach its final location. This meticulous effort ensured the safe installation of the transformer without disruption to Arla’s ongoing operations.
