KenWalt
Die Casting Expands "Green"
Facilities With Recycling and 'Solar Power'
Sun Valley, CA
In
line with our continuing commitment to make a positive impact in
society and improve lives and our environment, KenWalt Die Casting
Company is expanding upon it's 'Commitment
to Excellence'
by further
reducing our environmental impact in our newly expanded
offices, secondary facilities, new inventory facility and our
Aluminum
and Zinc
Die Casting production facility.
"Energy
conservation and recycling raw materials are two key factors in our
energy conservation efforts to enhance our activities and improve lives
and our environment. By recycling and reusing 100% of our aluminum and
zinc alloy materials as well as pallets, packaging
containers, filters and hydraulic oil used in our aluminum and
zinc die casting process, we are making a big difference", says
KenWalt's Quality Manager and Co-Owner Kenny Zaucha.
For years
KenWalt has continued to implement energy conservation actions
to
conserve materials and energy, such as using energy efficient furnaces
to melt aluminum and zinc alloys and reusing machine lubrication oils
and die sprays. From turning off little used lights to early
work schedules that avoid peek energy usage, KenWalt's
employees, both
individually and as a team, contribute to energy conservation and
improving our environment.
New for 2011,
KenWalt
Die Casting Company purchased and installed a NEW 35.9 kW SOLAR SYSTEM
thanks to the cooperation and efforts of SolarCity Corporation (SOLARCITY), Los Angeles Department
of Building & Safety
(LADBS), Los Angeles
Department of Water and Power (LADWP),
and US
Government Tax Credit Incentives. The installation of our new
clean,
renewable solar energy system will lower our aluminum and zinc die
casting operating costs, enable us to remain competitive both
nationally and internationally, continue expanding and creating more
jobs, and help us pass on those cost savings
to our customers.

Casting Companies Ask KenWalt for Help!
An
example of what another die casting company had to say about us:
"
Thank you so much for the sample parts..We
hope the anodizing outcome will help our customer."
(One
month later) "Just to let you know that the parts anodized
beautifully. They
(our customer) were happy with the results and we were awarded the
contract.
I
hope we are in a position to be as helpful as you folks were in
getting this job. It's nice to know there are a few of us who work
together left out there."
D.S.
What some
of our satisfied customers had to say about us:
"For
us to continue a commitment of 98% on-time delivery for our
customers, we must first receive this expectation from our vendors.
Your performance has been 100%! All items shipped on-time with 0
defects. Amazing."
F.G.
"Please
thank all of your people for their efforts. The completed
product delivered to us is beautiful. We foresee many more orders!"
D.U.
"We
are very grateful for the informative discussion and tour of your
die casting facility. We were genuinely impressed with your helpful
attitude, knowledge of business and ability to explain the casting
process. Now we feel confident that our companies are in good hands!"
A.E.
"Enclosed
is a VCR tape we made of your casting in our x-ray machine.
Porosity shows in these as white specs. As you can see from the tape,
we couldn't find any in your product, so we have a winner here."
D.
"I
received a letter from our customer that awarded us with a "Preferred
Vendor Status". We met our delivery schedule and the product is
performing as expected.That could not have happened without
KenWalt...following through and making sure we met our delivery
schedules. Thanks, I've been asked to bid on the next
contract."
