Automann continues sustainability efforts with new Monroe Township, NJ Location
Automann continues its efforts to reduce its carbon footprint by investing in efficient building practices and solar power.
Monroe, NJ Sustainability (Overview) Video
We are proud to announce that our new Monroe Township, NJ headquarters and distribution center with its Class-A institutional-quality design & construction and 366,000 sq. ft. footprint has completed the construction of its rooftop solar power system. The system is composed of over 3,500 450-watt monocrystalline modules and will produce over 1,800,000 kWh of electricity every year, offsetting more than 70% of the facility’s annual consumption and eliminating over 2,900,000lbs of cO2 emissions annually.
Prior to this solar facility Automann previously installed two other solar systems. In May 2022 a solar system was installed at the New Lenox, IL Distribution center with over 1,400 solar panels that will product over 600,000 kWh of electricity every year, eliminating over 890,000lbs of cO2 emissions annually. Prior to that in 2012 Automann installed a solar system in its former Somerset, NJ headquarters and distribution center with more than 1,000 solar panels generating over 300,000 kWh of electricity each year, eliminating over 400,000lbs of CO2 emissions
annually.
Automann plans on investing in solar technology in more of its distribution centers and currently participates in reducing their carbon footprint in other ways, that include:
- State-of-the-art energy-efficient lighting controls throughout the warehouses and office space
- Efficient use of space with high density racking covering approx. 40% of the warehouse space
- Recycling programs for cardboard, plastic, steel and wood by-products
