Plant in Ashland City, Tennessee, Cuts Water and Energy Usage
A multi-year effort to reduce electricity and natural gas consumption, conserve water, and increase material recycling culminated when the A.O. Smith Corp. Ashland City, Tennessee, plant earned the 2013 Chairman’s Green Star Award for resource conservation.
The 1,100 Ashland City employees were recognized by chairman and CEO, Ajita G. Rajendra, in a special ceremony recently.
“Ashland City is one of the largest water heater plants in the world, and the work you have done to conserve resources is truly impressive,” Rajendra said in announcing the award. “Equally as important, you have made a point of involving the entire team in the effort, and this has multiplied the impact throughout the facility.”
