KOLMAR Laboratories Enrolls in Energy Curtailment Specialists’ New York Demand Response Program for Green Benefit
Buffalo, NY (PRWEB) July 17, 2013 -- KOLMAR Laboratories, a leading custom manufacturer of cosmetics, personal care, and OTC products located in Port Jervis, NY, recently enrolled into Energy Curtailment Specialists’ PowerPay! New York Demand Response program.
Through successful participation in demand response, the KOLMAR facility will lower its carbon footprint and contribute to the protection of the local energy community. KOLMAR strengthens its dedication to both environmental stewardship as well as social responsibility by agreeing to reduce its electric usage when there are pending emergencies on the electrical grid. The Port Jervis facility is comprised of a 264,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility with an on-site R&D lab and warehouse, and will provide a significant reduction back to the grid as a preventative measure against blackouts and brownouts.
“KOLMAR Laboratories’ participation in the program, along with the effort of thousands of facilities already enrolled in ECS’ PowerPay! program, paves the way for more responsible energy management in the commercial and industrial sectors. They are a welcome addition to our program.” – Laura Buerger, ECS NY Market Manager
As a newly enrolled customer, KOLMAR also joins ECS’s Green Roots Initiative, a program which plants ten trees on behalf of the company in an ongoing effort to restore our national forests. KOLMAR’s commitment as a demand-side resource aligns wholly with their sustainability credo, in which the company strives to minimize their environmental impact by deepening the energy conservation methods in their manufacturing processes.
Craig Onofry, Engineering Manager of KOLMAR, was interested in the noticeably sustainable benefits through joining ECS’s demand response program. “As a manufacturing, filing, and assembly company that relies on operational efficiency, we understand the importance of helping to prevent potential brownouts by reducing demand for electricity when needed. We are proud to be members of such an environmentally conscious program.”
