Making It Real: Operations

Heat Treat
Technical guidance was needed to implement energy reduction in heat treat operation as well as: Cut the cost of energy Sustain heat treat operation Reduce the companys CO2 footprint

Paint Plant
Within the Springvale facility approx 99% of product is powder coated. It is imperative that the powder paint plants run efficiently to ensure associated running costs are minimized.

Engine Development
Engine development and validations were traditionally performed through multiple trial-and-error tests requiring tremendous material, energy, and labor resulting in significant waste, fumes, and emissions.
