Shaping a Future of Responsibility
At pewag group, sustainability is not just an ambition – it’s a responsibility. Our goal is clear: CO2 neutral production by 2030. In alignment with the Paris Agreement and the EU Climate Law as well as United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, we’ve implemented robust measures aimed at transitioning to renewable energy and preserving resources while creating a safe and inclusive workplace. Sustainability at pewag is a comprehensive approach that covers not only environmental stewardship but also social responsibility and business ethics.
Harnessing Renewable Energy for a Greener Tomorrow
A pivotal part of our sustainability journey is our commitment to self-generated renewable energy. Since 2021, we’ve installed numerous photovoltaic systems and a biomass thermal power plant alongside two existing hydropower plants, generating over 7,754 MWh of clean energy annually. This is equivalent to powering around 2,582 households. In 2023 alone, pewag (group) reduced its carbon footprint by over 4,076 tons – comparable to planting 122,280 trees. These achievements reflect our deep-rooted commitment to take action against climate change and creating lasting environmental impact.
Embracing Social Responsibility and Corporate Ethics
At pewag, sustainability extends beyond environmental efforts. We believe in fostering a safe, inclusive workplace where diversity and equality are valued. Our high ethical standards are upheld through stringent guidelines and a robust code of conduct. These actions promote a fair and transparent corporate culture that drives both economic success and social equity.
A Circular Approach to Business
Our focus on sustainability doesn’t stop with energy. We continually optimise our product quality, and together with providing spare parts and repair services, this significantly extends the product life cycle. We are actively reducing waste and improving product recyclability, essential components of our circular economy strategy. In 2023, 83 % of our 7,474 tons of waste was recycled. Beyond that, we are continuously refining our production processes, advocating for e-mobility, and adopting energy-efficient LED lighting to reduce our energy consumption. Thanks to these efforts, 27 % of pewag’s energy needs were met by renewable sources in 2023.
Responsible Water Management
We also take a proactive approach to water. In our production processes, water is used in a closed-loop system to minimize water consumption and prevent contamination. Our hydropower plants are designed to sustain fish populations, further highlighting our commitment to responsible natural resource management.
Driving Innovation for a Sustainable Future
Through all of these initiatives, pewag (group) strengthens its position as a leader in sustainable industrial practices. Our ongoing efforts are a testament to our unwavering dedication to environmental protection while driving innovation. By embedding sustainability into every link of our chain, we aim to continue optimizing processes and setting new standards in the industry.

How to achieve maximum performance
3 user tips for forestry tracks
Maximise performance with these essential tips for optimizing forestry tracks.
Our pewag forestry tracks are very robust and a reliable companion in the forest. There are a few tips and tricks on how to significantly increase the performance and durability of the forestry tracks.
Our recommendations:
1. Use the maximum tire pressure specified by the tire manufacturer
Otherwise, the forestry tracks could slip off the machine or tire damage could occur. If the tire pressure is too low, the tire sidewall bulges outwards and can be damaged by the track. Therefore, it is essential to use the maximum tire pressure when using forestry tracks to prevent tire side damage.
2. Constantly check and adjust the tension of the forestry tracks
Correct tension of the tracks affects their performance. If it is too tight, the tire can slip in the track and the machine has less traction. If the forestry tracks are too loose, they can slide off the tire during work. For this reason: check and adjust the tension regularly!
3. Observe welding instructions when repairing or retrofitting stubs
If stubs are retrofitted or re-welded, it is particularly important to follow the pewag welding instructions. If the welding process is carried out incorrectly, the hardness surface of the cross member is impaired, and this can lead to cracks or fractures under extreme conditions. In other words, to achieve maximum performance, weld the stubs correctly according to the welding instructions!

pewag pelagus Is Proud Partner Of The Eco-friendly Underwater Project “Nemo’s Garden”
Nemo’s Garden is an underwater cultivation designed by Sergio Gamberini along and Ocean Reef Group. The project was born to face main global issues, such as: climate change, pollution, malnourishment, and hunger. The underwater-garden is in Noli, Italy, and it consists in an underwater installation of several vinyl-plastic biospheres containing various kinds of herbs, vegetables and flowers that are being tested and observed for this alternative and sustainable way of gardening.
This concept of underwater agriculture explores the sea, and the possibilities it offers. Nemo’s Garden has been designed to be:
self-sustainable – using mainly renewable energy from natural resources such as the sun and having the ability of reutilizing the freshwater it produces
eco-friendly – not harming the surrounding environment and its natural marine ecosystem that is heterogeneous, has an oligotrophic nature, a high diversity in marine species.

New fully automatic production site for pewag bluetracks
pewag produces in Vamberk, Czech Republic, forestry bogie and single wheel tracks with state-of-the-art robots according to highest quality standards.
The production site in Vamberk was renovated and modernized in 2018. In addition, in 2020 a showroom for customer meetings was built. The state-of-the-art robot technology enables precise production methods and guarantees a consistent quality level of all our forestry products.
The combination of high-quality materials, many years’ production experience and sophisticated production processes turn our bluetracks into reliable partners for forestry applications. 7 different profile types are produced daily in Vamberk and delivered worldwide at the present time.
How does the production process of pewag bluetracks look like? Let’s have a look behind the scenes!
Each bluetrack consists of cross members with studs, connecting links, locks and c-links with side support.
Cross members are the core elements of each track which consists of different components. Depending on the type of cross member profile rods are cut to the length required. Afterwards the steel blank is heated. The robot puts the blank into the press which brings the cross member into the right shape.
Very important are the stubs. The number and position of the stubs on the track are flexible and can vary. pewag places two stubs on each cross member as standard. The stubs are produced from the same material as the cross member, pressed into shape and welded on the cross member by robots.
The cross members are connected with each other through connecting links and locks.
Another important component are c-links which are influencing the lifespan of the track. The more robust they are, the longer the track can be used. The c-link is produced on an especially developed machine which is cutting, heating mand shaping the c-link.
Within the c-link the side support is integrated which is closing the link system. This side support keeps the track on the wheel and is the last step of assembling the track. For producing the side support, the raw material is punched and pressed by a fully automatic machine.
The stubs, c-links and locks are core hardened by pewag to make them more robust. This special treatment requires a lot of know how to achieve the best combination of case-hardened surface and rough core.
Each bluetrack is dipped into a special blue paint to protect the finished bluetrack from rust. After drying the track is fixed on pallets and the finished track is shipped or stored in the warehouse.
New showroom for customer visits
A new showroom was designed directly at the production site, which presents in detail all components of our bluetracks. In the future all our customer meetings are held in this modern and relaxed atmosphere. In addition, a big video wall and a coffee corner are set up to entertain our guests.
