Reuse of blind actuators

Aadorf TG, February 2025

Griesser is returning disused JAX actuators from the control system of its façade solutions for solar shading to the economic cycle. The actuators repaired by Griesser come with a one-year guarantee. All services also apply to these objects.

Griesser is giving old JAX actuators a second life. These blind actuators, which are part of Griesser’s top-selling KNX sun shading control system, will be repaired with immediate effect, according to a statement from the sun shading specialist. They will then return to the economic cycle. They are now available for customised configurations on the MyGriesser online platform.

The KNX variants with their JAX actuators are among Griesser’s national and international bestsellers. With its latest measure to “increase sustainability”, the company wanted to “start where we can achieve the greatest impact”, according to its CEO Urs Neuhauser. That’s why the choice fell on Griesser KNX control solutions.” The promise of quality also applies after the repair, which is why all repaired actuators come with a one-year guarantee. In addition, the other services also apply to the repair objects.

The project will initially be launched in France. Other Griesser locations are also planned at a later date.

As Griesser emphasises, the company has long been committed to the circular economy. For example, its aluminium has contained a high proportion of recycled material for several years. With the launch of Green Aluminium in 2024, CO2 emissions per kilogramme are to be reduced by up to 30 percent. According to the information provided, this greener aluminium will initially be used in the window shutter range.
