Dallas, Texas -- Use of energy is inevitable in the manufacturing industry. However, Dal-Tile Corp. has taken action to reduce the amount of energy used by its production facilities to make a positive impact not only in the towns where their factories are located, but also for the planet.

“To ensure our manufacturing is as energy-efficient as possible, we utilize internal and external experts to conduct intensive evaluations with the goal of finding areas of improvement in our facilities,” said Robert Hurt, director of environmental, health and sustainability services for Dal-Tile Corp. “By connecting with local suppliers, we organize ‘energy treasure hunts’ that seek out areas where we can bring change to our day-to-day activity that may be overlooked. These treasure hunts are a team effort from start to finish and require our employees, alongside energy professionals, to look for solutions that reduce our carbon footprint.”
