When we embarked on our new building project, we designed it

based on our “triple bottom line” philosophy and

decision making approach. This philosophy focuses

on the well-being of the individual and our collective

community; increasing the health and vitality of the

natural environment, and producing a long-term positive

economic impact. When addressing any decision,

Aerzen considers how each entity will relate to the other

to produce a solid outcome.

Our new building design not only illustrates our

commitment to be a leader in our industry, it is a

response to our employee needs and current

environmental

concerns. Specific

technologies used

throughout the facility

are incorporated to

reduce energy needs

while increasing both

output and productivity.
