“Many industrial companies are committed to standardisation. That makes perfect sense.
When you standardise, you can streamline workflows, and processes can be automated.

In my experience, however, we need to think differently.

The future belongs to companies that do not standardise, but instead custom-design products specifically for individual customers.”

— Holger Ross Lauritsen, CEO

We care about our climate

Road tankers and sustainability

CO2-neutral production

Our district heating is produced from solar energy and biomass. By purchasing so-called green certificates, we ensure that electricity and gas are produced from renewable energy sources equivalent to the company's total electricity and gas consumption. Our production is therefore almost 100% CO2-neutral.

Green transportation

Our forklifts and several of our cars are electric. Additionally, our employees receive a financial bonus if they cycle or walk to work instead of driving.

​Energy optimization

Work is continuously being done to reduce energy consumption.

For example, 90% of the heat in the air from the extraction in the production halls is reused and we use LED lights throughout the factory. 

Waste recycling

At VM Tarm a/s, we make a great effort to sort waste and by-products, and we continuously consult with experts about the possibility of sending even more waste fractions for recycling. Our preliminary goal is to completely avoid sending waste to landfill, which we have almost achieved. A large part of our metal scrap is taken by the Technical School and is thus used for education.

Waste reduction

We strive to reduce our waste volumes. Thus, we have eliminated all disposable service items, and we have replaced physical manuals with digital ones, which saves the environment many thousands of pages of paper each year.

Additionally, we ask our suppliers to use a minimum of packaging.

​Weight optimization

We started working intensively on weight optimisation years ago, including in connection with the Tank Trailer of the Future project, which the Danish Environmental Protection Agency supported.

Today, we produce the lightest tankers on the market. This helps VM Tarm a/s assist the transport industry in reducing their diesel consumption and accompanying CO2 emissions.

Customized is sustainable

We create customised solutions that are tailored to the customer's specific working conditions. This makes the work more efficient and avoids wasting resources.

Additionally, it prevents the use of resources to produce features that are not used.

Stainless steel – a sustainable material

The majority of our tanks, undercarriages, and components are made from stainless/acid-resistant steel. It is a sustainable choice.

If stainless steel is treated properly, it can last virtually forever. Stainless scrap can also be recycled 100%, and its quality is maintained during recycling.

Repair and maintenance

A large and growing part of our business is repair and service. 

This fits into the future where we need to take better care of resources. 

If it is possible to repair a damaged tanker instead of discarding it, we always recommend this.
