Production Mold:
Veneer Specialists’ mold process implements a closed loop system that allows for the re-use of hot melt rubber. This saves in production of raw materials used when making new molds.
Stone Kilns :
Veneer Specialists’ Stone Kilns generate their own heat 75% of the year. This saves energy costs in the production process.
Production Waste:
Currently 80% of the scraps created through manufacturing are used in construction site fill and diverted from landfills.
Veneer Specialists’ will continually maintain our goal to manufacture a product that is resilient for decades without depleting the natural resources needed for future generations.
