SUSTAINABILITY

Setting the Standard for Green Facilities

We have a green mindset when it comes to day-to-day operations. Our team is proud to work with clients on sustainability projects, including those that are awarded LEED recognition. We also have a full recycling program for packaging and other materials throughout our facility.


Most notably, we worked with Central Connecticut State University on a campus-wide initiative that garnered them national recognition for their sustainability achievements.

Sign Pro Goes Green

Meeting 100% production electric needs

Sign Pro, a leading signage manufacturer in Connecticut for more than 30 years, operates a 40,000 square foot LEED certified production facility in Plantsville. In 2018, the well-known company with a highly visible property facing Interstate 84, put the finishing touches on its recently-constructed building with the installation of a 293kW solar array composed of 890 panels.


“When work began, many passersby assumed we were adding a sign to our rooftop, but the building is beautiful just the way we built it out,” stated Pete Rappoccio, Owner and Founder. “What we were doing was installing a solar array that will power our production well into the future. Not only does it help meet our sustainability goals," he added. "We are able to keep costs down so we’re simply more competitive.”
