At Schleifenbauer, sustainability is more than a promise — it’s a core design principle. From packaging-free delivery to locally sourced components and energy-efficient engineering, our PDUs are built for long-term performance with minimal environmental impact. Discover how smart manufacturing and custom solutions go hand in hand with a greener future.
At Schleifenbauer, we believe that technological innovation must go hand in hand with environmental responsibility. Sustainability isn’t a trend for us – it’s a conscious and strategic commitment that’s embedded in every aspect of our product development, manufacturing and delivery processes.
Our PDUs are engineered with one clear goal: to deliver optimal performance with minimal waste. Through the integration of smart energy management features, we help data centres optimise power usage while significantly reducing their environmental impact.
Our manufacturing processes are built on strict environmental standards. We work with locally sourced, high-quality materials and carefully selected suppliers to reduce transport-related emissions. This gives us full control over the entire value chain – from raw material to finished product – and keeps our carbon footprint as low as possible.
Every unit we produce is made to order. This approach not only prevents excess inventory and unnecessary materials but also leads to leaner logistics and a more responsible use of resources.
Our PDUs are designed to last – with an average lifespan of over 15 years. Longer product life means fewer replacements, less electronic waste, and a more sustainable long-term solution for our customers.
Our solutions contribute to greater efficiency in data centre operations. By improving power usage effectiveness (PUE) and reducing overall energy consumption, our PDUs offer both economic and environmental benefits – helping organisations reach their sustainability goals.
Wherever possible, we offer packaging-free delivery options. When packaging is required, we use custom-fit, minimal-material solutions to reduce waste and shipping volume. This approach helps cut down on single-use materials and improves transport efficiency.
We design each PDU specifically to meet the unique needs of our customers. This means no unnecessary features, no excess components – just highly efficient, streamlined products that make the most of every resource.
Our R&D team plays a vital role in our environmental strategy. From developing new modular designs to enabling more intelligent energy monitoring through software, innovation powers not just our products – but also our progress towards a more sustainable future.
We don’t just provide sustainable products – we help our customers improve their own environmental performance. Through close collaboration, we enable them to take full advantage of energy-saving features and achieve greener operations across the board.
All Schleifenbauer products are designed and manufactured in the Netherlands under strict quality and environmental regulations. Local production allows us to maintain high standards, shorten supply chains, and ensure transparency in every step.
At Schleifenbauer, sustainability is more than a checkbox – it’s a mindset. From the smallest component to the final delivery, we’re building a smarter, more sustainable energy infrastructure for the future. Every design, every decision, every day.
At Schleifenbauer, we understand that the path to true adaptation begins with placing the power of choice in your hands. When it comes to Power Distribution Units (PDUs), there is no one-size-fits-all solution, and we believe that your unique needs should dictate the components included in your PDU. That’s why we’ve assembled a comprehensive selection […]
The Hidden Risk: Inrush Currents and Relay Damage Most IT equipment today includes switch-mode power supplies with large capacitors and EMC filters. These components can cause inrush currents — extremely brief but intense current spikes — during switch-on. In one test from our whitepaper, a simple 65W laptop adapter created a shocking 150 A peak […]
