Amana Tool announces green manufacturing initiatives

Amana Tool, manufacturers of carbide cutting tools, recently announced the company's green manufacturing initiatives that adhere to stringent environmental protection laws. The company's environmental standards - including recent energy conservation measures - mandate material recycling, water conservation and air-quality preservation. In addition to tool production guidelines, Amana Tool also features a number of environmentally friendly insert tool designs that save raw materials.

Amana's main production facilities recycle all waste products, including metals, oils and leftover raw materials such as carbide powder, reducing the cost and environmental impact of the tool manufacturing process. The factories feature state-of-the-art clean air systems that prevent toxic emissions into the environment, according to the company. Amana also recently began energy conservation practices to lower the company's energy consumption at workstations and compressor locations throughout each facility.
