The Artcraft Company has installed a new solar powered system to power its facility in North Attleboro, MA.
The company is a family-owned engraving and printing facility that designs and delivers identity systems and invitations.
More than 1,100 solar panels were installed on the rooftop of company’s production facility. Munro Distributing has performed the installation of the solar powered system.
The President and CEO of The Artcraft Company, John Dumouchel stated that the company was giving a new meaning to the term 'green printing'. The solar powered system was inaugurated on Friday, where Dumouchel commented that with the new solar installation the company was going to make identity systems and invitations that demonstrated environmental responsibility.
The new solar installation will power The Artcraft Company’s engraving facility completely, while solar power will contribute to 50% of the requirements for the offset department. Among the existing printing techniques, engraving is an environmentally friendly method. With the new facility, customer projects will be produced with solar power leading to more environmental and sustainable practices within the company.
The FSC-certified printing company will make significant reductions in its green house gas emissions. Around 5,226 t of CO2, which is equivalent to planting of 209,032 trees, avoiding SUV travel for 6,657,070 mi or 10,774,845 mi of air travel, will be reduced by the new solar powered system.
