Reducing energy waste and cutting costs

Unilever is a multinational consumer goods company with a long history that traces back to the 1929 merger of the Dutch company Margarine Unie and the British soapmaker Lever Brothers. Today, it is one of the world’s largest producers of fast-moving consumer goods, operating in over 190 countries. The company is known for its wide range of household-name brands that span food and refreshments, home care, and personal care. Unilever has positioned itself as a sustainability-focused company, committing to responsible sourcing, reducing its environmental footprint, and promoting health and well-being through its products.

In the UK, Unilever has a deep-rooted presence and historical significance. Its origins lie in Port Sunlight, Merseyside, where Lever Brothers began producing Sunlight soap in the 19th century. That site remains a part of Unilever’s operations today. The UK serves as Unilever’s global headquarters following a corporate restructuring in 2020 that simplified its dual Anglo-Dutch structure. Many of its brands are household staples across British homes, including PG Tips, Marmite, Pot Noodle, and Persil. The company also operates several manufacturing and research facilities in the UK, employing thousands of people. Unilever continues to play a significant role in the UK economy and is an active voice in discussions about business responsibility, environmental impact, and sustainable development.

Unilever UK sites form a critical part of Unilever’s global supply chain and innovation network, demonstrating the country’s ongoing importance to the company’s operations. With a product portfolio as broad as Unilever’s, prioritising resilient manufacturing processes is a no-brainer. We supplied various Unilever sites with bespoke and standard CRGO and amorphous transformers. The majority are from our amorphous product range, which exceeds regulated efficiency levels, making it a preferred choice for Unilever sites to reduce their energy waste and carbon emissions while cutting operational costs.
