STI's Advanced Facility

STI's advanced manufacturing facility is a model in the metal finishing industry. Our state-of-the-art energy and environmental practices have:

• Been presented at the Sur-Fin metal finishing conference
• Featured in industry publications
• Received the Ewing Township Green Award for Excellence
• Been used for training customers of STI's electroless nickel solutions to implement in their own facilities

The recognition of STI's custom designed facility is built on:

• Solar electric PV system that generates all of our electricity requirements
• LED lighting with motion sensor control
• Radiant heating
• Closed loop purification of process water
• Evaporation of all residual liquid
• Zero discharge of any water to the local treatment center
• Safe and efficient in-house steam production for heating needs
• One-Plate® electroless nickel solutions for optimal lifetime and reduced nickel metal content
• "Top Shop" level quality to avoid inefficient rework
• Rigorous preventive maintenance and safety

So it is not just STI's products that are good for energy conservation and the environment by preventing wear, making parts last longer, avoiding use of chrome plating, lowering energy use by reducing friction; but also the way in which we manufacture and apply these products is also the most environmentally friendly.
