Continental plant in Ohio honored with ambassador of energy efficiency award

November 18, 2016 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Continental’s St. Marys, Ohio, plant, its premier North American manufacturing facility for engineered products, recently received the Ambassador of Energy Efficiency award from Efficiency Smart, a Columbus-based company that assists companies with implementing energy-efficient products and services.

“We are proud to receive this award,” said Frank Smith, St. Marys’ plant engineering manager.  “We had a great experience working with Efficiency Smart for our energy-efficient lighting upgrades.  Their technical staff proved a valuable resource in measuring our energy usage and verifying the amount of energy and financial savings.”

“Since we operate 24 hours a day, the new lighting fixtures were able to reduce the company’s electric costs significantly,” said Smith.  “As a result of the project, we expect to save 348,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy annually and $341,500 over the lifetime of the installed products.”

  • Recognized by Columbus, Ohio-based Efficiency Smart
  • Estimated annual plant savings of $22,700
  • Lifetime savings of more than $341,000

The St. Marys plant is the 30th recipient of the Ambassador of Energy Efficiency award since its inception in 2013.
