98 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S

98 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK Aztech Locknut Company 2675 White Oak Circle, Aurora, IL 60502 Toll Free: 800.321.LOCK (5625) Fax: 630.236.3210 www.aztechlocknut.com AZTECH LOCKNUT RETAINS LEADERSHIP IN GREEN BUSINESS PRACTICES WITH ISO 50001 Aztech Locknut Company is now compliant to the ISO 50001 Energy Standard. ISO 50001 requires that an organization pursue continuous improvement in its energy efficiency, security, use, and consumption. Adherence to this new standard allows Aztech Locknut to maximize use of its energy sources by reducing consumption and cost, which is good for Aztech’s customers and good for the planet. According to Aztech’s President, Mark Kaindl, energy use at Aztech’s Aurora, Illinois facility is down 60%. Thanks to Aztech’s 2009 “green” renovation and resulting compliance to LEED-EB, the energy savings were already there, creating the basis for compliance to ISO 50001. Measuring and documenting energy savings are key components to compliance. According to Kaindl, “The requirement or goal is to save energy, and thus money.” He continues to seek out other areas to achieve energy savings and facility comfort, including relatively simple items such as insulating blankets for Aztech’s dock doors. Though a relatively new standard, it is estimated that ISO 50001 will eventually influence up to 60% of the world’s energy use. Aztech’s LEED-EB compliant facility and compliance with ISO50001, combined with its existing certifications to AS9100C, ISO 17025 and ISO 14001, suitably demonstrate how Aztech Locknut’s business practices and quality programs lead the way in the fastener industry.
