Manufacturing Company Stays Globally Competitive By
Installing Solar
(
5/6/2013 )
(Newark,
N.J., May 2, 2013): ZaGO Manufacturing Co. is pleased to
announce that they have gone solar at their headquarters and
manufacturing operations, based in Newark, New Jersey. This
investment in solar power increases their global
competitiveness by lowering their operational costs,
allowing them to continue manufacturing all their innovative
sealing products at their Newark facility.
“Since we
are here in Newark for the long run, we are committed to
investing in our facility and decided to go solar,”
explained Gail Friedberg, Vice President of ZaGO. “We are
proud that our 20-year old company was ‘Born in Newark’
since we started at the NJIT Business Incubator back in
1993. After graduating from the incubator, we rented a
facility in Newark before buying this building ten years
ago.”
“With a
tough economy, we investigated ways to curb our expenses and
electricity was a logical choice to consider,” added Harvey
Rottenstrich, President of ZaGO. “Being energy independent
is important to us. This decision not only lowers our
operating costs, it reduces the risk from the volatility of
future electric prices. Solar is a great hedge and our
expenses are now more reliable. With the federal tax credit
and bonus depreciation, it made it very worthwhile to
install the system.”
The 207
solar modules in this system provide over 60% of their
electricity consumption. “This project means a lot to us
since all of our products are “Made in the U.S.A.”. By
generating electricity through solar, we are able to reduce
our operating expenses and remain competitive in the
marketplace, while retaining valuable manufacturing jobs in
New Jersey.
