EJ Ajax and Sons, a contract manufacturer of world class precision metal stampings and sheet metal fabrications formally announced the company`s green Metal Forming Initiatives that adhere to stringent environmental protection laws.
The company`s environmental standards, including recent energy conservation measures, mandate material recycling, water conservation and air quality preservation. In addition to tool production guidelines, EJ Ajax also features a number of unique, environmentally friendly tool designs that save raw materials.
EJ Ajax’s metal forming plant recycles all waste products, including many tons of scrap metal each week, along with oils and all leftover raw materials, reducing the cost and environmental impact of the metal forming process. Other recycling includes, used light bulbs,office paper, aluminum beverage cans, batteries and used computers. All shop rags and leather gloves are washed and re-used.
The factory features state-of-the-art clean air systems that prevent toxic emissions from getting into the environment. EJ Ajax also recently began energy conservation practices to lower the company`s energy consumption in the plant with high efficiency lighting, set back thermostats, and motion sensor light switches.
We pride ourselves in being advocates for the environment through our green manufacturing initiatives, innovative tool designs and supply chain management, "we understand that these stringent standards are intended to protect the health of our environment, employees and those in the communities around our plant”.
