Derek Jaeger, Environmental, Corporate Health and Safety Specialist, was the lead contact for the green certification effort for Shiloh Clarksville, but it has taken the effort of all local employees to obtain the certification.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we acquired the Clarksville facility, Shiloh made many renovations to help improve the environmental sustainability of the plant. We replaced all halides with energy efficient lighting, and improved the general housekeeping of the facility,\u201d said Jaeger. \u201cSince opening our doors, we connected with Bi-County SWM and other waste recyclers to minimize our environmental impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shiloh\u2019s leadership has long been an advocate of sustainability with a goal of obtaining landfill-free designation for all capable facilities. Currently 11 plants have achieved this milestone.<\/p>\n

\u201cShiloh employees are challenged to conserve natural resources by reducing, reusing and recycling in all of our global operations. We constantly strive to increase our pollution prevention efforts at the source of our production processes by eliminating unnecessary waste. We also actively promote the use of conservation techniques and the reuse of materials wherever possible,\u201d Jaeger continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cShiloh Industries is the leader in automotive lightweighting solutions with a focus on enhancing the environment. Automakers are under pressure to meet and exceed the increasing global emission standards in an effort to decrease greenhouse gases. To aid in this initiative, our innovative lightweighting technologies improve material consumption and CO2 emissions through the reduction of part weight and overall vehicle weight, resulting in increased fuel efficiency,\u201d said plant manager, Gerald Craycraft. \u201cWe look forward to getting up to full production in 2018 in Clarksville and by adding a new line beginning in 2018.”<\/p>\n
