At OMT-Veyhl, we recognize our responsibility to reduce our environmental impact, support the health of our employees and communities, and design products that contribute to a more sustainable future.

This report highlights the progress we’ve made in 2025 toward measurable and lasting change. Guided by the principles of continuous improvement, we will build on these efforts with clear goals for the future — from reducing emissions and material waste to increasing transparency and product circularity.
We remain committed to holding ourselves to the highest standards and to being a trusted
partner in advancing sustainability across our industry.

ELECTRIC CONSUMPTION

OMT-Veyhl’s Year-over-Year consumption comparison shows notable decrease in energy usage of 7%.

NATURAL GAS CONSUMPTION

We achieved a 14% reduction in natural gas usage year-over-year, reflecting our ongoing efforts to optimize energy efficiency across operations.

EFFICIENT LIGHTING

We use all energy-efficient lighting throughout the entirety of our production facility. Our lights are powered by motion sensors to only be on when necessary.

MATERIAL USAGE

Design optimizations in our core products have improved material utilization without compromising product quality.*

Additional material optimization efforts continue to reduce scrap and waste. These include using pre-vetted sustainable part numbers when possible, evaluating the design via FEA, and utilizing common fasteners and components for a reduction in required shipping.

*In specific top supports, we achieved a 30% reduction in steel thickness. This change not only lowers raw material usage but also reduces the overall product weight, leading to more efficient freight and easier handling throughout the supply chain.

CONFLICT-FREE MATERIALS

We certify that our products do not contain conflict minerals, which are defined as tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold that come from areas where mining has been linked to violence or human rights abuses.

We work closely with our suppliers to ensure compliance with the U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Section 1502) and other internationally recognized standards. Our procurement process includes a review of supplier certifications and declarations to verify that raw materials are responsibly sourced.

We require a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) from all suppliers to evaluate material safety, regulatory compliance, and potential environmental impact.

We meet customer requirements for material health, including offering PVC-free solutions upon request, and continually align with restricted substance standards to support safer products and responsible manufacturing.

WASTE

Our Packsize machines allow us to form our own corrugated packaging, so we only make what we need when we need it– ultimately reducing waste. We implemented a new tracking tool in 2025 to improve monitoring of powder coat usage and steel scrap reduction efforts. This system provides more accurate data, enabling better measurement of progress and identification of opportunities for continued efficiency improvements.

RECYCLING

We have implemented battery recycling to reduce pollution and contain hazardous waste, as well as contributing to the recovery of valuable materials found in batteries.

In our packaging design, we prioritize the use of biodegradable and recyclable materials whenever possible, reducing waste and supporting a more circular approach to material use.

A new paper recycling program with our partner Padnos, launched in 2025, ensures that manufacturing paper waste is collected and recycled responsibly.

REUSING HEAT

Our powder coat lines and air compressors all generate enough heat to redirect back into the manufacturing facility, significantly supplementing our heating system during the cooler months. Our furnace is located inside the building to maximize air intake efficiencies.

AIR LEAKS

Using the data from our quarterly facility audits, the team has implemented preventative and predictive maintenance on our compressed air system to prevent air leaks. We are also investigating ultrasonic equipment to address additional “hidden” air leaks by the end of 2025.

PAPER USAGE

User manuals have gone through a design change to reduce paper consumption by 50%.

PLASTIC REDUCTION

Our water jug system has been replaced with a water bottle refill station to further reduce plastic use.
