How does a traditional industry become a leader in sustainability? Let’s find out together!
The name Terrán is familiar to many, thanks to its domestic manufacturing, exceptional quality, and commitment to sustainability.
With a history spanning more than 110 years, the company has become Hungary’s leading roof tile manufacturer: nearly 23,000 families choose Terrán roof tiles to protect their homes each year.
Today, Terrán is truly an international enterprise, operating sales centres in five countries and supplying products to markets across ten nations.
This time, we invite you to a special afternoon where you can step behind the scenes, see how the roofs of the future are made, and discover the innovation that has led Terrán to be recognised not only as a roof tile manufacturer, but also as a solar technology developer.
Our host: Terrán
How does a traditional industry become a leader in sustainability?
Terrán has been a stable presence in Hungarian industry for over a century – but what truly sets them apart is the way they connect the values of the past with the possibilities of the future.
They are not simply manufacturing roof tiles: they were among the first to completely rethink what a roof can achieve today.
Their in-house developed Generon solar roof tile is not merely a technological breakthrough; it represents a shift in perspective. Here, the roof not only provides protection – it actively contributes to the home’s energy generation and supports a more sustainable way of living.
Terrán today embraces sustainability not only in its products
- At their Hungarian plants, a significant share of the electricity supply is generated from solar energy.
At their site in Bóly, the entire technological heat demand is covered by geothermal energy. - And it’s not just their own operations they are transforming – they are setting an example for the entire industry.
- This shift in mindset is no longer just part of their future plans – it has become embedded in their everyday practices.
- For internal logistics, they use electric vehicles across their premises, steadily moving towards full carbon neutrality.
Why should you join us?
You’ll get a close-up view of how a traditional industry can be transformed towards sustainability.
You’ll discover the story behind the development of the Generon solar roof tile – an award-winning Hungarian innovation, first-hand.
You’ll see real-life examples of how renewable energy can be integrated into manufacturing and business operations.
And you’ll leave with inspiration on how to shape your own business or professional journey more consciously and sustainably.
