With the support of its parent company, Magna International, and the Government of Ontario's "Save on Energy Programme", the automotive plastic parts manufacturer Polycon Industries has successfully installed an 8 MW cogeneration plant. The company made this investment to remain competitive in the automotive market and to reduce its long-term manufacturing costs. In particular, 100% of the steam produced by the system is utilised in part of the manufacturing process instead of being dispersed, guaranteeing the company an excellent return on investment.
