Company: What's New: Press Release: Environmental Friendliness and Sustainability

Are you being required to provide information on the environmental friendliness of your products?

Is there an increased demand for the use of sustainable design within your company?

Mid-States Aluminum Corp., an extruder of custom aluminum shapes, is a proactive leader in supporting environmentally friendly processes.

Did you know that:

• Aluminum can be recycled over and over again without ever losing any of its inherent qualities or characteristics
• Recycling aluminum saves approximately 95% of the energy used to produce primary aluminum
• Aluminum is non-toxic
• Anodizing aluminum not only strengthens the metal’s corrosion resistance but does so with an environmentally friendly process that produces no harmful by-products

Mid-States Aluminum Corp. is committed to environmental quality. We recycle all our scrap aluminum and utilize re-melted aluminum billet when feasible. We have developed an extensive infrastructure in our facility to support the recycling of water used in our anodizing line. This includes a new, state-of-the-art waste treatment system that recycles over 60% of the water consumed in the process. We also utilize and encourage the use of returnable/recyclable packaging.

Mid-States Aluminum Corp. is an ISO 9001:2000, Lean Six Sigma facility. We can provide your team with extrusion design support, in-house secondary machining and anodizing. We supply our customers with high quality products, consistent on-time delivery, unsurpassed customer service and some of the shortest lead-times available in our industry.
