Sustainability

Here in the Northwest, we have been ‘green’ for decades. It’s a way of life.  We at STRASSER are constantly finding ways to conserve energy, reduce waste, increase recycling and use cleaner manufacturing practices. We know the importance of leaving a cleaner world for future generations.

Conserving Energy

STRASSER is continually evaluating ways to reduce energy consumption.  We have upgraded LED lighting, purchased high efficient air compressor equipment, and upgraded waste management procedures.

Lean manufacturing practices result in much more efficient use of materials and less wastage.
