ENVIRONMENTAL EXCELLENCE

At ABQC the Environmental aspect of our business is perhaps its most component. In addition to our ethical responsibility to protect the environment, we have a commitment to provide a constant flow of product to our customers that can never be compromised by not placing the highest of priorities on environmental compliance.

Our waste treatment system, capable of treating 500 gallons of effluent per minute, is one of the largest metal finishing waste treatment operations in the world. The system includes a custom computer program that monitors the entire waste treatment system on a real-time basis. The company has an exemplary environmental record and a solid relationship with its POTW, the state DNR and the federal EPA.

ABQC personnel test the effluent from our waste treatment system on a schedule that far exceeds regulatory requirements to ensure regulatory compliance.

ABQC has won recognition on the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District's "Honor Role" every year since 1998.

ABQC will achieve ISO 14001 registration by the end of 2004.
