We are ranked in the top 18% of companies rated by EcoVadis in the Manufacture of other fabricated metal products industry.

  • 24% of fabricated metal companies for positive environmental impact

  • 17% of fabricated metal companies for following strict but fair code of ethics standards

We are committed to continually improving our processes and practices to minimize our overall environmental impact. Since our last assessment in 2019, our overall score increased thanks to additional measures we implemented at all our pail plants.

Next year we are aiming for a gold medal!!
