Southwire facility wins award for air quality permit compliance for 5th straight year

Southwireโ€™s facility in Huntersville, N.C., has again been recognized for its efforts in achieving compliance with air quality permits by receiving the annual Air Compliance Excellence (ACE) Award. This is the fifth consecutive year the Huntersville Plant has received the award and the seventh time overall.ย 

The Mecklenburg County Air Quality ACE Awards began in 2014 to promote local industriesโ€™ efforts that comply with air quality permits within the county.ย 

To be eligible for the award, facilities are required to meet all terms of their air quality permit for an entire year. This includes submitting reports, notifications, fee payments, emission testing and annual inspection with no violations of nuisance, dust or odor complaints of the site.ย 

According to Patrick Vaughan, storekeeper attendant at Southwireโ€™s Huntersville Plant, the ACE Award showcases the facilityโ€™s efforts to improve the local air quality, aligning with Southwireโ€™s commitment to sustainability and supporting the wellbeing of our communities and the environment.

โ€œWe are thrilled to receive the ACE award again this year, and itโ€™s really a testament to the work of our team members and our environmental, health and safety manager, Jamie McGrath,โ€ said Vaughan. โ€œTogether, we strive to do whatโ€™s best for our environment, and this award shows our commitment to making a difference in the Huntersville community.โ€ย
