New Equipment Hikes Efficiency At Harper Charlotte, Green Bay Plants
Published: 06.10.2011
Charlotte, NC, June 10, 2011– Global anilox roll supplier Harper Corporation has completed installation of advanced equipment that boosts efficiency at its production facilities here and in Green Bay, WI.
Company officials announced their investment in innovative production machinery at the two ISO 9001:2008 Certified U.S. manufacturing sites. The long-time Harper locations have enabled the company to fabricate and restore more anilox rolls than any other manufacturer in the world.
Upgrading manufacturing technology is integral to Harper’s continuing effort to lower energy use, cut waste, reduce packaging, conserve resources and reduce its overall imprint on the environment.
“These state-of-the-art production improvements deliver benefits on two fronts,” said Ronald “Lee” Harper Kluttz, Harper Vice President of Manufacturing Operations. “First, we enhance the efficiency of how we produce anilox rolls. Second, we advance the sustainability goals that Harper has long supported.”
Over the years, Harper has introduced many “green” manufacturing programs – all aimed at saving energy, preventing pollution and maximizing raw material use. Its ambitious recycling program includes recapture of all production-generated waste – including powder, shavings, wires and consumable parts.
