Controlled development and sustainable yields
The core of our business - our products - all contribute to sustainable development.

Environment
Heating using wood or biomass means respecting the environment by entering the natural CO2 cycle, without contributing to the greenhouse effect.
(see biomass life cycle)

COMPTE-R manages its operations to encourage :
• the use of rain water for pressure testing furnaces and the manufacture of refractory concretes,
• the installation of daylight detectors to reduce electricity consumption,
• office and workshop heating using renewable energy (wood),
• the management and recycling of our manufacturing waste.

Economics
Our hundred-year old company, established since its beginnings in the heart of the Auvergne forests, designs, manufactures, markets and installs wood and biomass furnaces. Whatever the request, COMPTE-R designs solutions based on three objectives: optimizing energy performance, controlling costs and answering economic and environmental issues.

COMPTE-R contributes to local development by increasing: Material and technical resources:
+42% in the last ten years,
• increased area of workshops and offices, ongoing management of disabled access,
• investments in new development and production equipment,
• transport and travel management (grouped purchasing for single delivery, etc.). Human resources:
• Increased workforce: +20% in the last ten years. In this way COMPTE-R strengthens the local economic fabric.

Our supplies of raw materials and semi-finished products are sourced 80% from France and 20% from the European Union.

For a long time we have been developing partnerships with regional SMEs to provide a better service to our French customers; these convey our know-how and brand image.
