Environment

Manufacturing is a resource intensive business but we believe in doing all we can to minimize our impact on the environment.  We follow or exceed all government regulations to reduce emissions and recycle coolant and materials.  In a typical year we recycle 5000 gallons of coolant and 100,000 pounds of metals.

Lee’s has also installed a $1.2 million dollar solar electric project on the roof of our facility which produces 370,464 kW hours per year resulting in the following equivalent environmental savings.
