We have always chosen materials that both meet our stringent manufacturing requirements and that are environmentally friendly. In recent years, we have greatly expanded our efforts to carry out our business with minimal impact upon the planet. Today, we are proud to be a green manufacturer. Our commitment to conservation means the conservation of all our resources — natural and cultural. We continue to look for better ways to use resources wisely and preserve our shared cultural heritage. Here are just some of the steps we have taken to protect the environment and the people who use our products:
Installed one of the largest photovoltaic solar powered systems in Western Massachusetts, which provides enough energy to power our 36,000 sf manufacturing facility and offices
Highly efficient lighting and HVAC systems throughout our facility
Compost all of our waste wood and cardboard locally
Recycle all our excess metal and plastic locally
Offer paperless digital catalogs
Extra cases and frames are donated to local historical societies
Utilize only EPA approved Low VOC coatings and finishes
Home to a bird sanctury that is frequented by migrating songbirds, wild turkeys, hawks and the occasional owl.
