MATAMOROS, Mexico — Universal Lighting Technologies’ manufacturing plant has been certified as a “Clean Industry” facility by the federal government of Mexico’s Industria Limpia program.
The certification process began in May 2006 and required a variety of independent, third party audits to verify proper handling of air, water, waste, and chemicals.
After identifying 24 areas for corrective action, Universal Lighting Technologies implemented the changes. A final inspection was conducted by the Mexican government’s Office of the Federal Prosecutor for Environmental Protection (PROFEPA).
Now “Clean Industry” certified, the Matamoros plant has the right to use the Industria Limpia logo and fly the program’s official green flag. Executives from Universal Lighting Technologies and its parent company, Panasonic, were on hand in Matamoros for the flag raising ceremony.
“We are honored to receive the Industria Limpia certification from the government of Mexico, and we congratulate our entire staff here in Matamoros for this important achievement,” said Pat Sullivan, CEO of Universal Lighting Technologies.
