For Quad, It's Easy Being Green

In 2007, QBMN’s effectiveness could be seen across the printer’s operational platform. The Facilities Department at Quad’s’ Hartford, WI, plant realized that it had excess air compressor capacity and, therefore, didn’t need to buy an additional 400-hp air compressor, saving $210,000 in equipment costs and $155,000 in annual electrical costs, as well as preventing the consumption of 3.1 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually.
