AESSEAL recently received independent Verification from British Standards (BSI) that its global business operation is now Net Zero Scope 1, 2, and 3.

Its Rockford, Tenn., location recently purchased Green Energy from TVA and is expected to be self-supporting and require no energy from TVA. Those efforts included the addition of solar panels, battery storage units, tinted windows, and updated LED lighting across the entire facility. In addition to planting trees, employees were educated on the benefits of green energy. Future plans include installing environmental and economically-sound HVAC units. Finally, these endeavors have helped its North American customers offset nearly 375,000 tonnes of C02e.
Additionally, AESSEAL is ahead of its five-year plan to double the size of its North American business and has several open positions.
With the idea that STEM education can shape the future, AESSEAL recognizes the importance of education and equipping future leaders by meeting the demand for STEM-skilled employees. As these fields continue to expand, the number of open positions continues to increase.
