Sustainability at Elried: Technology meets responsibility

Together for a more sustainable industry

In industrial marking, many companies face the challenge of using solutions that are reliable, efficient, and sustainable at the same time – especially in complex production environments. This is precisely where the close partnership between edding and Elried comes into play. Under the joint brand edding + elried, Elried’s technological expertise is combined with edding’s decades of experience in developing industrial inks. The shared mission: Mark it simple – making industrial marking simple, reliable, and sustainable.

The result is well-designed, robust, and forward-thinking marking solutions “Made in Germany” that set standards both technologically and in practical application.

Sustainability as a product principle

What may initially seem like a technical detail is in fact part of a consistently sustainable product strategy. The edding compact printers are built for durability. They feature robust full-metal housings and are designed for years of use in industrial environments. This reduces wear, minimizes the need for replacements, and lowers operating costs in the long term.

Resource conservation in production and use

Another key aspect is the use of non-toxic, non-drying edding inks. These ensure consistently high print quality while reducing waste and solvent emissions. In addition, CO₂ emissions in the marking process can be reduced by up to 95% – without additional costs. The usual trade-off between cost efficiency and environmental sustainability is eliminated.

Full production in Germany also supports short supply chains, further reducing the ecological footprint. This approach reflects the edding group’s “profit for” philosophy, which links economic success directly with social and ecological responsibility. Sustainability is also considered in packaging: The edding in-line Pro is delivered in a grass-based carton made from renewable grass fibers, significantly reducing material consumption.

“For many companies, sustainability currently stands in conflict with economic efficiency. With edding systems, we achieve both: a reduction in CO₂ emissions while significantly improving economic performance.” – Bastian Hofberger, CEO at Elried

A strong duo for the future of industrial marking

With the joint brand edding + elried, a new level of industrial marking is created: functional, future-proof, and sustainable. The edding compact printers enable companies to make their production processes more efficient, reduce complexity, and simultaneously contribute to climate protection. Particularly in the packaging industry, this opens new opportunities to leverage efficiency potential and meet regulatory sustainability requirements with confidence.

“We firmly believe that financial success is not only necessary for continued existence, but that sustainable business practices and economic success correlate. Companies that do not fulfill their responsibility will, in the long run, face economic problems as well.” – Per Ledermann, CEO at edding
