Lower costs today while increasing capacity

Lower your energy costs by choosing natural gas. Natural gas systems provide power on demand, allowing you to adjust temperatures with great precision in order to better meet your production needs. The result? Productivity gains, as well as improved quality of finished products. Moreover, natural gas is less expensive than fuel oil or electricity.

We save approximately $100,000 annually by using natural gas, an amount we can reinvest into our plant’s  productivity. We have also improved our track record on greenhouse gas emissions since we chose natural gas over fuel oil.
