OUR COMMITMENT TO GREEN BEGINS AT HOME…

CTT believes protecting the environment and conserving energy begins at home.  CTT has taken energy conservation steps by replacing all facility lighting with high-intensity discharge lighting.  A power factor correction project was performed by installing a phase liner for motors in the facility.    The project freed up enough electrical capacity to supply seven homes and will prevent an estimated 147,000 lbs of CO2 emissions per year.    CTT has also installed a grinding and collection system which eliminated 700 tons of waste from becoming landfill.  The waste is now being re-cycled to another industrial product.

CTT is located within a 600 mile radius of all our customers.  Laminate countertops are easily shipped and weigh less than other countertop materials.  CTT employs route planning software and equipment to maximize the use of fuel.

CTT and its employees utilize lean manufacturing techniques and work groups to continue to improve efficiency and protect the environment.
