Company/Responsibility

Quieter places, built with less.

Our products take transport noise out of the places people live, and use less material to do it.

Why noise matters

Transport noise is a public-health issue.

Long exposure to traffic, rail and aircraft noise raises the risk of heart disease, disturbs sleep and costs years of healthy life. Every barrier, silencer or panel we install takes part of that load off the people living next to the source.

What our products change

The good is in the part itself.

Most companies write this page about the harm they cut from their own operations. Ours starts with what the products do once they are installed.

30%Less acoustic insulation material per car
2.5MCars over a seven-year programme
176–286 ktCO₂ equivalent avoided over their lifetime, from lower fuel use

Estimated use-phase savings from our lighter acoustic insulation across 2.5 million cars over a seven-year programme: 25 to 41 ktCO₂e a year.

Assumptions: 150,000 km per car; 12 to 20 kg less weight per car; 0.135 L less fuel per 100 km for every 100 kg saved; 2.9 kgCO₂e per litre of fuel. Estimate, 2026.

Four topologies, one material.

Less material

Every product line

Up to 30% less mass for the same acoustic performance, so less raw material goes into each part.

Lighter barriers go up faster, so construction sites near homes are fenced and quiet sooner.

How we run the company

Certified, and built in-house.

Management system
Quality, environment, and health and safety certified as one integrated system: ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. See the certifications
Production
Three production sites. We design, build and test our parts ourselves, so the part that was tested is the part that arrives.
