A COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
Choosing a Greener Future
We believe responsible manufacturing starts with intentional choices. From recycling metals and reducing water usage to generating solar energy and sourcing smarter materials, we’re focused on making a meaningful impact.
These efforts reflect our long-standing commitment to protecting the planet, supporting our West Bend community, and delivering products customers can feel good about.

Reducing Metal Waste, One Pound at a Time
Every scrap counts. In 2024, we recycled over 819,000 pounds of stainless steel and aluminum. By reusing metal waste, we reduce the need for new materials and help keep resources in use. It’s a smart, sustainable choice your customers can feel good about.
Solar Energy That Powers Progress
With over 6,100 solar panels installed across rooftop and ground arrays, our system produced more than 3 million kWh of clean electricity in 2024—equivalent to powering over 360 Wisconsin homes for a full year.
It’s a long-term investment in energy independence, carbon reduction, and environmental stewardship.
98.5% Recycled Content in Our Packaging Materials
Our primary corrugate supplier conducted a full lifecycle assessment of the materials we used in 2024.
The result? An impressive 98.5% recycled content across all corrugate-based packaging we purchased. That means smarter material sourcing and a cleaner footprint for every product shipped.
Turning Waste into Opportunity
From batteries to plastic film, we go beyond the obvious when it comes to waste diversion.
We recycle everything we can—because doing our part matters.
In 2024, we recycled 132,718 pounds of non-metal and non-corrugated materials, ensuring our operations generate less landfill waste and more value.
Our ongoing commitment to recycling is just one way we’re building a more responsible manufacturing future.
“Sustainability is embedded in our manufacturing, from recycling steel to solar energy to diverting millions of gallons of water annually. We've made these investments because our customers - and their customers - expect responsible manufacturing in the U.S. that minimizes environmental impact. And it’s just the right thing to do.”
